The City of Rosenberg Fire Department’s new Fire Engine 3 was officially placed into service on Monday, February 19, 2024. The new 2024 Spartan Fire Engine, capable of holding 750 gallons of water and pumping 1,500 gallons per minute, is equipped with an array of fire gear and life support equipment.

The new apparatus replaces a 2013 Pierce Impel Pumper truck which will be placed in reserve status for the next several years.

Engine 3 is a vital part of the City’s strategic plan Goals for a Safe and Attractive Community, providing high-quality professional public safety and emergency services to meet the community’s current and future needs.

“This is an exciting time for Rosenberg Fire,” said Assistant Fire Chief Jack Helton who oversaw the acquisition of the new engine and oversees the Operations Division of the Fire Department. “By adding state-of-the-art apparatus such as Engine 3 and Tower 4 in 2023, we are working to constantly improve our services and enhance the department's capabilities in responding to various emergencies, EMS calls, fires and specialized rescue incidents.”

Engine 3 was purchased through Metro Fire Apparatus Specialist, Inc. and will be stationed at Fire Station #3 at 6226 August Green Dr, Rosenberg, TX 77469. The new engine will also be on display prior to the Feb. 20, 2024 City Council meeting beginning at 6 p.m.
