The Mission Fire Department is enhancing its fleet with the addition of three utility vehicles, funded by a $200,000 border grant. Two of these vehicles will feature 100-gallon water tanks and hoses, enabling crews to tackle emergencies in areas that traditional trucks cannot access, such as canal banks, brush areas, and bike trails. Fire Chief Mike Silva emphasized the versatility of these vehicles for various terrains. The department anticipates deploying the new vehicles as early as next week to improve their emergency response capabilities.
