The Centennial Fire District acquired a new 2024 engine that will be housed at our Station 1 in Circle Pines. This engine is equipped with 1,000 gallons of water and will have the call sign of Engine 1. The new Engine 1 will be replacing the 2006 Engine 11. This new engine is not only safer for our responders but will be more effective on the incidents we respond to. The crew had the honor of welcoming home the new engine in traditional fashion by pushing the new engine into the fire station. This all took place during our annual awards ceremony where we badged new recruits, presented years of service awards and EMS medical caduceus pins surrounded by friends, family, neighbors, city officials, retirees and current members.
