SISTERS, OR -- The Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District received a new water tender Monday. It's one of three agencies to receive new tenders, as part of the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s engine program.

A total of 30 tenders will be distributed around the state, to boost resources for structural fire departments who need additional equipment to combat wildfires. La Pine Rural Fire Protection District expects to receive one in a future delivery.

OSFM is also providing Type 6 and Type 3 engines to some agencies through the program funded by the 2021 legislature. Earlier this year, Jefferson County Fire received a new Type 3 engine from the program. Crooked River Ranch RFPD and Sisters-Camp Sherman are also on the list. Bend Fire expects to get a Typ 6 engine.
