The clear skies and mild weather yesterday provided the ideal conditions for our department to complete this year’s annual pump testing. This critical evaluation ensures that our fire apparatus continues to operate at peak performance when our community needs it most.
A special thank you goes out to Lakes Region Fire Apparatus for their assistance and professionalism in helping us conduct the testing. Their partnership plays a vital role in keeping our equipment reliable and ready for service at a moment’s notice.
