County Fire Protection District Donates Type 1 Engine to Daggett Fire Department

Constituent Services Director Samuel Shoup was pleased to join the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District for its donation of a new Type 1 Engine to the Daggett Fire Department.

The 2000 KME engine is capable of holding 500 gallons of water and boasts a 1500 GPM pump and foam system. It is the most common firefighting engine in use today.

“We value our partnership with our outlying fire agencies and humbled by the opportunity to assist the Daggett Fire Department with a valuable resource such as this,” said San Bernardino County Fire Protection District's Assistant Chief Kelly Anderson. “This fire engine is outfitted with modern firefighting capabilities that will help Daggett Fire improve service delivery during fire and emergency responses to the rural desert areas of the County.”

Daggett Fire Chief Wayne Clemons Jr. shared the department's gratitude. “We have a great working relationship with San Bernardino County Fire," he said. "This fire engine is a huge asset and much appreciated as we have a limited annual budget and have been unable to purchase a quality replacement apparatus. This will greatly serve the needs of Daggett and the surrounding communities in the Silver Valley.”
