The city says Engine 7 provides a number of benefits to the community, including reducing emissions and lowering fuel costs, improving firefighter safety by reducing exposure to harmful fumes and reducing noise pollution.
The truck also has a slimmer profile, which improves the vehicle’s overall maneuverability.
Engine 7 will eventually be housed at Station 7 on the east side, but for now it will remain at Station 1 until construction is complete.
City leaders say this marks an exciting step toward a cleaner, healthier future for the St. Paul Fire Department and the City of St. Paul.
