The Mission Fire Department is enhancing its fleet with three new utility vehicles, funded by a $200,000 border grant. Two of these vehicles will feature 100-gallon water tanks and hoses, enabling the department to respond effectively to various emergencies in hard-to-reach areas. Fire Chief Mike Silva emphasized their utility in accessing locations such as canal banks, brush areas, and bike trails where standard trucks cannot operate. The new vehicles are expected to be in service starting next week, improving the department's overall response capabilities.
