Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue truck
will reside at Station 3 on Mercury Boulevard
MURFREESBORO — Murfreesboro
Fire and Rescue Department and Middle Tennessee State University unveiled the
city’s newest fire engine, complete with the university’s logos and colors, at
a brief ceremony at noon Saturday, April 16, before the Blue-White spring
football game.
The new
truck will become MFRD’s Engine 3. The company, located on Mercury Boulevard,
is the unit closest to the university’s campus.
The
truck made its grand entrance just before noon in the Greenland Drive
parking lot next to the Blue Raiders Athletic Association tailgate and near the
Kennon Sports Hall of Fame. A brief press conference was held in front of
the new fire truck, and Blue Raider cheerleaders and the university’s mascot,
Lightning, posed with fans for pictures and will hand out posters.
“We are
very proud to have Middle Tennessee State University in our city, and excited
to increase the partnership between the university and the city as a whole,”
said Fire Rescue Chief Mark Foulks. “Displaying the university logos on our
apparatus that responds to MTSU is a great way for us to show that MFRD is True
Blue.”
The Blue
Raider Athletic Association and the university’s Office of Alumni
Relations hosted a tailgate at the Greenland Lawn prior to the game. After
the tailgate, the Middle Tennessee football team concluded spring drills
with the annual Blue-White Spring Game presented by Kroger.
