Water Tenders Going To Fire Districts
(Salem, OR) -- Fire districts across Oregon are getting new equipment from the Oregon State Fire Marshal's Engine Program. Three water tenders, which are large tank trucks, are going to the Amity Fire District, Winston-Dillard Fire District and the Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District. A total of 30 water tenders will eventually be distributed. The program is also purchasing 26 Type 3 engines and 20 Type 6 engines. The equipment is going to fire districts that have the personnel to staff the equipment. The goal is to increase an early response to wildfires to keep them from growing.
