The Pratt Fire Department has officially taken possession of a new custom-built fire engine, marking a significant upgrade to the department’s fleet and firefighting capabilities.
The department received delivery of the new Spartan engine on Dec. 9. The engine was specially designed to meet the operational needs of the Pratt Fire Department and represents a major investment in public safety for the community.
The new engine will replace Engine 2, which will be made available as soon as the new engine is ready for service.
To celebrate the arrival of the new apparatus, the Pratt Fire Department plans to host a traditional push-in ceremony, a longstanding fire service tradition symbolizing the acceptance of a new engine into service. Details on the date and time of the ceremony will be announced, and the public will be invited to attend.
Fire officials expressed appreciation to all those involved in bringing the project to completion, citing the collaborative effort required to acquire and deliver the new engine.
