    The Minnedosa Fire Department welcomed a new fire truck to replace their older model. The $430,000 truck was ordered from Acres Emergency Vehicles and came in under budget at an estimated $380,000 with equipment. Some of the new features include a larger 1,200 gallon water tank, a remote controlled rotating nozzle, and a "pump and roll" function that allows firefighting while the truck is moving. The new truck will require training before being put into service later this month to replace the 20 year old outgoing vehicle.
