A great addition to the Westminster Fire Dept

🚒 Exciting news! 🚒

This week, we have officially placed our new Engine 2 into service!

Engine 2 is a 2026 KME Severe Service pumper that has been several years in the making. A huge thank you to all of the members who dedicated their time and effort to making this project a reality.

One fun feature of the new engine is its all-red cab. While our current apparatus have a white top, we chose to bring back a classic look that was used by the department from its beginnings until 1990.

Effective immediately, Engine 2 will serve as our primary response apparatus for emergency calls. We are proud to put this new truck into service and look forward to serving the community with it for many years to come.

Be sure to give Engine 2 a wave if you see us out and about! 🚒🇺🇸

FINAL DECISION!! Game Time: SUNDAY @ 5:00PM!

We admit there has been some confusion regarding the start time to Sunday's Police/Fire vs Coaches/Volunteers Softball Game. But after the back and forth of player and field availability, and now a final decision based on weather, the game is scheduled to start at 5:00PM on Sunday the 7th!

The actual field (softball vs major) is to be determined based on conditions after the rain. And should the weather or field conditions not cooperate, we will reschedule by 2:00PM and post on social media with an update.

We appreciate the support and understanding as we navigate the weather! We are still hoping for an amazing community night!
