On January 26, 2019, the Monticello Fire Department put into service its newest addition to the truck fleet, a 1999 Pierce Dash Engine, replacing a 1989 Custom Fire Engine. The Department tries to use a 30-year replacement cycle for its fire and rescue trucks so the department formed a committee in January of 2018 consisting of Fire Chief Kevin Komprood, Assistant Chief Shane Luchsinger, Assistant Chief Jason Eyler, Captain Ron Blumer, Firefighter Casey Klossner, and Firefighter Brian Grossen.
