Bedford, N.Y. — October 24, 2026 — The Bedford Fire Department and Bedford Village Fire District took delivery of a new tanker, Tanker 20, adding 2,500 gallons of water capacity and additional fire suppression equipment to the department’s fleet.
The tanker was built by KME and Bulldog Fire Apparatus. In addition to its water supply, the vehicle carries fire suppression and support equipment to assist Bedford firefighters during emergency responses in the district and neighboring communities.
Department members are expected to begin training on the new apparatus before it enters service. Once operational, Tanker 20 will provide an additional resource for the department’s response capabilities.
