The Fairfax Rural Fire Protection District recently purchased a Heiman Waterking 1 tanker apparatus with a 2,100 gallon tank and 1,000 GPM PTO pump from Heiman Fire Equipment of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Total cost of the new fire truck is $244,375.00. 

A payment of $88,570.00 was made in February 2020 for the Freightliner chassis. The district entered into a six-year lease purchase agreement for the remaining balance with the first payment being due February 1, 2022. This is the first new pumper truck the district has purchased since the 1980s.
