From the Palm Bay Fire Department:
Palm Bay Fire purchases new vehicles to help combat wildfires and increased demand
Published on
We’re thrilled to announce the purchase of our new multi-mission vehicles, soon to be built and integrated into our fleet. These versatile vehicles are designed to serve our community in multiple capacities—they can be utilized as brush trucks to combat wildland fires and converted to high-water trucks during heavy rain and flooding events to reach stranded citizens.
In addition to these multi-mission vehicles, we are also acquiring a 2,500-gallon water tender. This new tender will significantly enhance our ability to deliver water to areas without readily available hydrants, further strengthening our firefighting capabilities.
These new additions reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing our response capabilities and ensuring the safety and well-being of our community in all situations.
