WICHITA, Kan. — The Wichita Fire Department is about to get its biggest influx of new fire engines in 11 years, the first of which could arrive as early as this week, fire and city officials said.
Deputy Chief Ron Aaron and Jay Newton, the city’s fleet and facilities superintendent, said the roughly $6.5 million order includes nine engines, or pumpers, and a truck, or aerial platform, which has a bucket that will extend 100 feet.
It is the largest order of new fire apparatus the department has received since 2002, they said. “The community is buying this stuff, and we appreciate the commitment and support that this community provides the fire department,” Aaron said.
