The Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department accepted the delivery of a new fire engine. The 2019 Spartan Metro Star is replacing a 1997 Spartan Gladiator. The Gladiator has served the city but has reached the end of its useful life. Over the next several weeks fire crews will receive training on the new truck. It is anticipated the new E21 will be in service by May 1st.
