The new engines, which were ordered in March 2019, will feature a new lighting package that is more advanced and new sirens that are more easily heard. “We had a truck committee that suggested that we add additional petitions in the hose bed, and we put a bigger EMS compartment in the engines to assist us with the demand for emergency medical calls,” Floyd said in a news release.
