Equipment used: Scraper, Dozer, Compactor, Fire Truck
 We currently have 3 trucks just like the one in the photo to the right. We acquired these from Federal Surplus / Huron, SD / Boxelder, SD. (Click here to view the letter that was sent to Federal Surplus in Huron thanking them for assisting us in the purchase of our first fire truck). The trucks hold 1,100 gallons of water, pump at a rate of 750 gallons per minute and are operated from the cab. You can spray water from an upper and lower turret that will reach out 200 feet. These trucks are great assets to the landfill and also the Aberdeen Rural Fire Department. We have assisted on 3 fire calls in the past 2 weeks with our trucks. We responded to 2 fires with 3 miles of the landfill and one fire south of Jobee Acres. The trucks not only fight fires but are used to recirculate wastewater, suppress dust and any other use that the truck works for.
We acquired one of 3 fire trucks we now have that assisted on this fire.
