The Washington Fire Department is excited to unveil its latest firefighting asset, the 2025 Pierce Enforcer pumper. This advanced vehicle is set to significantly bolster the department's capabilities alongside the new Station 1 currently under construction, enhancing emergency response times and operational efficiency. As it undergoes equipment installation and crew training, the pumper is expected to be fully operational within three to four weeks.

Stationed at the headquarters (Station 2), this pumper will be managed by Capt. Heath Schaefer and his experienced crew. Equipped with the latest technology, it is designed to address a variety of fire situations, carrying essential equipment and water supplies for swift fire suppression.

The acquisition of this vehicle was made possible through the City of Washington’s half-cent capital improvements sales tax, a community-supported funding initiative. This investment reflects the citizens' commitment to enhancing public safety and well-being.

The arrival of the Pierce Enforcer pumper signifies more than just an expansion of the fleet; it embodies the department's ongoing dedication to protecting lives and property with modern resources. As training progresses, firefighters will become adept at utilizing the new apparatus, ensuring its effectiveness during critical incidents.

This milestone in Washington’s public safety infrastructure highlights the community's support and the fire department's readiness. The new pumper stands as a testament to proactive investment and collaboration, prepared to serve the city and its residents for many years ahead.
