“The 2002 KME fire truck might not be brand new but it’s new to us. The Engine will replace our 1986 Spartan Engine and serve as our primary responding unit. The Fire Engine has a 1250 gallons a minute pump carrying 1000 gallons of water. This new truck will also carry our brand new electronic extrication tools that were donated as well to better assist us in extracting patients from vehicles,” Concan Fire Chief Justin Willis said.

“We were contacted back in August by the Texas Forest Service regarding this Fire Truck up for donation. Due to the Concan area growing at the rate it is, we knew we needed to upgrade. The Donation went to a program called helping hands where it was then given to us,” he said.
