As a result of modernizing our fleet of fire engines we have been selling off some of our older vehicles. One such sale was finalized today with the delivery of our “old” Engine 2. The college has been trying to upgrade their fire apparatus that is used to train students so….. We traded our truck to the Hennepin Technical College in exchange for college tuition credits.
Our department has had a long history of firefighters taking a lot of advanced firefighting and medical training at the college. we encourage that. With all that additional training comes additional costs for tuition. Both organizations got their respective needs met, a win, win situation.
Pictured here are Eden Prairie Assistant Chief Steve Koering and David Klocek, the person that runs the fire training operations for the college.
