New equipment aids wildfire response, rescue in Williamson County

Williamson County Emergency Services District No. 9 partnered with the Sam Bass Fire Department for new specialized wildland equipment designed to combat wildfires, and aid in local search and rescue missions.

What is it: The upgraded equipment includes a command truck equipped with fire suppression gear, an air-conditioned trailer, and a utility task vehicle that acts as a mini off-road fire truck, ESD 9 Commissioner Alan Forster said. The UTV is specifically designed to navigate narrow hike-and-bike trails where traditional, larger fire engines cannot fit.

Funded by tax dollars through the ESD 9 partnership, the new equipment aims to protect urban wildland areas, including greenbelts and county parks, Sam Bass Fire Department Chief James Shofner said.

The new equipment will also aid in search and rescue efforts and flood responses, Shofner said.
