Lubbock Fire Rescue is about to hit the streets of Lubbock with some serious style—and I'm not just talking about any fire trucks!
This year, the department is rolling out two brand-new engines and a new platform truck, each sporting a sharp, updated design scheme that’s as bold as the team who will operate them. These trucks are more than just new rides; they’re a symbol of the investment and trust our Lubbock community and city administration have put into our fire department and the brave firefighters who keep us safe.

These engines aren’t just there to look good, though. Each one has been built with the Hub City's unique needs in mind, from the layout of the compartments to the cutting-edge equipment they’ll carry. Right now, the trucks are going through the outfitting process, where every compartment and feature is customized for maximum efficiency and ease. Lubbock’s very own Emergency Vehicle Technicians are handling the job, making sure everything’s just right. Once that’s done, each truck will undergo a rigorous inspection to make sure it’s up to the task.

And here’s the best part: this is only the beginning! Lubbock Fire Rescue plans to unveil the design for the new platform truck in just a few weeks, giving us in the community even more to look forward to.

With these new trucks, Lubbock Fire Rescue is gearing up to serve the community better than ever before. So next time you see one of these beauties rolling down the street, know it’s more than a truck—it’s a commitment to keeping all of us in Lubbock safe!
