A few weeks ago, we shared a sneak peek at our new Sutphen fire engines as they made their way through the manufacturing process.

Today, we're excited to share even more photos of our trucks in the mid-build phase!

Each day brings us one step closer to putting these new engines into service, enhancing our department's ability to protect and serve the Southfield community.

Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses. We can't wait to see the finished products!
