Mission Fire Department adds UTVs to its fleet
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Mission Fire Department has enhanced its fleet by acquiring utility task vehicles (UTVs) designed to access challenging terrains where standard emergency vehicles struggle. These UTVs will aid in search and rescue missions, emergency medical services, and combating brush fires, ultimately improving response times for first responders. Fire Chief Michael Silva emphasized the importance of these vehicles for reaching rugged areas, particularly bike trails. The department funded the purchase with a $239,000 grant from the Border Zone Fire Department Grant Program, and two additional UTVs are anticipated to arrive next month.
