Boone County Fire District Donates Tanker Trucks to Rural Fire Departments
The Boone County Fire Protection District has donated two 2000-model Pierce Freightliner pumper tankers to the Northwest and Van-Far fire districts. This donation addresses critical needs in rural areas lacking fire hydrants, enabling effective firefighting capabilities in these communities.

The Boone County Fire Protection District donated two pumper tankers, each capable of carrying 1,500 gallons of water, to the Northwest and Van-Far fire protection districts. This decision arose from financial challenges faced by these districts, which were initially seeking to purchase the trucks after Boone County put them up for sale following their retirement.
The donation is significant for rural Missouri, where fire hydrant systems are absent, necessitating water transport for firefighting. The donation allows for immediate service deployment, addressing urgent community needs. This action reflects the Boone County Fire District’s commitment to supporting neighboring fire departments.
