Winnfield, LA (May 2024) – The City of Winnfield announces the arrival of a new custom pumper. The new fire engine is a welcome upgrade for the city because of its state-of-the-art technology and equipment as well as its shorter chassis which is easier to maneuver on city streets.
The city had been planning to acquire a new truck to replace an aging engine built in 1979, but the timeline was accelerated when another engine went out of service for repairs. Delta Fire & Safety was able to meet the city’s expedited needs and delivered the upgraded pumper in March. Financing for the acquisition was provided by Government Capital Corporation, Southlake, Texas.
“The City of Winnfield has partnered with Government Capital for over a decade,” stated Fire Chief Brian Montgomery, City of Winnfield. “Gov Cap has been a good option for us for a variety of projects, and we’re very satisfied with their team and expertise in the market.”
“I want to congratulate Fire Chief Brian Montgomery and the City of Winnfield on acquiring this new fire apparatus,” commented Marti Sauls, Municipal Finance Specialist, Government Capital Corporation. “We take great pride in partnering with Louisiana cities to reach their goals and objectives to best serve their communities.”
