The new 33,400-square-foot facility brings Dallas Fire-Rescue and airport operations teams into a single building, replacing a 1960s-era station whose location had added to emergency response times.  The station is now paired with a liquid-cooled electric charger built to support the airport’s growing electric fleet. The all-electric PANTHER is no slouch on performance: it can go from 0 to 50 mph in under 25 seconds on electric power alone — under 20 seconds in Boost Mode, compared to 28 seconds for its diesel counterpart.  It can also throw water or foam up to 250 feet, a 40% increase over the diesel truck’s 190-foot reach, while its electric motors cut noise by roughly half during emergency responses. The truck is currently in a six-month test period covering daily operations, training, and side-by-side comparisons with the airport’s existing apparatus, with Dallas Fire-Rescue’s feedback helping Rosenbauer refine the vehicle before full production. The partnership supports the City of Dallas Aviation Department’s goal of an emission-free fleet by 2040. Photos: @box111photography

A change in Grapevine Fire Department history. As of July 1, the Grapevine Fire Department placed Engine 1 out of service for the final time at 6:30 a.m. (Pictured alongside its replacement, Squad 7.) Under the new staffing plan, Engine 1 has been replaced by the two-person Squad 7. The plan also reassigns one firefighter from Truck 7 to pair with another firefighter, allowing the department to place a fourth ambulance into service. As a result, Grapevine is now operating with three engine companies instead of four, reducing the city’s available firefighting resources. The current response model also requires a mutual aid engine or truck company from a neighboring fire department to be dispatched to every reported structure fire. The change comes after many Grapevine residents voiced opposition to the plan, along with 97% of the members of the Grapevine Firefighters Association, who also opposed the proposal.
