BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A brand new fire engine was delivered to Station 67 in northwest Bakersfield on Friday afternoon.
The fire engine, a Pierce Enforcer Type 1, comes with equipment and new tools for emergency services. District 1 Supervisor Phillip Peters was at the station to help deliver the engine.
Firefighters pushed the engine across the threshold of the station by hand, which is a well kept tradition, according to Jon Drucker, KCFD Public Information Officer.
The engine is now in service and will serve the Rosedale are and Kern County for years.
