Check Out the New Fire Trucks Coming to Wichita Falls This Year

Looks like a company out of Austin is finishing up some trucks for our Wichita Falls Fire Department and they look pretty sweet.

Good news for us in Wichita Falls, rain is coming this weekend. Sorry if that ruins your Valentine's Day plans, but we should be thankful for any rain we always get in Wichita Falls. Someone who is always thankful for any rain, is our firefighters in Wichita Falls. When those dry conditions return to our city like they always do, those fires can spread quickly.

New Fleet of Trucks Coming to Wichita Falls This Year

The company Feniex Industries out of Austin just put some finishing touches on some new F-250 trucks that will be apart of our fleet in Wichita Falls very soon. Feniex makes emergency lights for Police, Fire & Rescue, and EMS. I called over to the Wichita Falls Fire Department and was told they have four total trucks coming. The previous trucks had hit their end of life cycle and needed to be upgraded. These new trucks should be helping on fire scenes in Wichita Falls the next ten to fifteen years. 

Wichita Falls Fire Department Received New Fire Trucks in 2023

Most people think of a fire truck as the giant red truck with the ladder on top, but several types of trucks arrive to the scene of a fire and they all serve different purposes. You can read more about them here. For the giant red fire trucks, the city just upgraded those in 2023. You can watch KFDX's story on them above.
