Mission Fire Department adds UTVs to its fleet
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Mission Fire Department has expanded its fleet by adding utility task vehicles (UTVs) to enhance emergency response capabilities. These UTVs will facilitate search and rescue missions, EMS calls, and brush fire management, particularly in hard-to-reach areas like bike trails. Fire Chief Michael Silva emphasized the importance of these vehicles for improving response times. The UTVs are equipped with water tanks and hoses for firefighting. The department acquired them using a $239,000 grant from the Border Zone Fire Department Grant Program, with two additional vehicles expected to arrive next month.
