The Rescue Pumper: Moorhead Fire Department Unveils New Truck

The Moorhead Fire Department’s shiny new addition has officially rolled into action.

The department’s new half million dollar fire truck started taking service calls this past week.

The truck is able to haul up to 800 gallons of water, and pump up to 1250 gallons per minute.

The truck, also known as the “rescue pumper”, has features that can also help with rescue calls.

“Efficiency wise, there is some new things on this one that we didn’t have before. This one also has a light tower on the top which is really nice for working at night and also into the country,” said Greg Doeden, Moorhead Assistant Fire Chief. 
 
The truck will be permanently located at station two, Moorhead’s south side fire station.
