Terra Alta Welcomes New Engine
Engine 163 addes new critical firefighting capability
The citizens of Terra Alta are now served by a new state-of-the-art Pumper Tanker. Engine 163's capability rounds out the department's modernization strategy of a smaller number of units with advanced capability. Our three engines - Engine 161, Engine 162 and Engine 163 -- provide more firefighting, emergency medical aid, rescue, life safety and public service capability than at any time in the department's history.


Fire Department Conducts Training Exercise
Training exercises that involve live-fire training are the best simulation for the challenges faced by any fire department during an actual emergency. These opportunities allow us to train on critical skills that effect safety of both the community and your fire fighters.
Fire training is only one of the many types of training your fire fighters have on a monthly basis. Other types of training include emergency medical training, vehicle extrication, hazardous materials, emergency vehicle operations, incident management and many other types of training.
The following training was conducted in late 2007.
