Pumper 55 has finally arrived and will be in service soon. This truck will replace Pumper 54 which has served the community for 15 years as our front line fire apparatus. Pumper 54 will be placed in a reserve role and still be used as a back up.

Thank you to our West Platte Fire Board, including past members, for their support. Thank you also to all of the members of the fire district that contributed with ideas and helped design this truck. This truck will serve the community for many years to come.
