As published by the San Diego Union Tribune on August 7, 2025:
When San Diego’s fire season hits its peak this year, there should be a couple of new tools in the firefighter’s old toolbox. Among them, two new brush rigs, which are trucks designed for fighting wildfires, and a nearly-ready-to-deploy helicopter. The department also boasts a new high-tech mobile command center.
When the two new brush rigs come online this fall, Fire-Rescue will have 13 such specialized wildfire trucks in its fleet. San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief Robert Logan said the new rigs hold 600 gallons of water and “are designed to move quickly and methodically through tough terrain to stop the progress of wildfires.”
