Mayer Fire recently took delivery of a 2015 Ford F-350 4×4 ambulance. This apparatus was purchased through bond election monies. Along with the ambulance, MFD purchased a new Water Tender and Structural Engine that should arrive in 6-9 months. The ambulance will be replacing a 13 year old unit, the water tender will be replacing a 27 year old unit, and the engine acquisition will create a spare piece of apparatus.
Mayer Fire crews spent several hours on the Fria Fire, one of numerous lightning caused fires around the area throughout the past few days.
