Firefighters with the Walker (MN) Area Volunteer Fire Department recently took delivery of a new top-mount pumper with an enclosed pump control panel, according to a report published by Lakeland PBS.
According to the television station, the department has 24 volunteers who got the new pumper thanks to taxpayers and community matched funds from Sourcewell. The new pumper also has a compressed air foam system and an iPad that literally runs the truck, according to the report.
The truck will respond to structure fires, woodland calls, medical emergencies and car crashes much more quickly, according to the report.
