Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (HCFR) continues to strengthen its fleet with the addition of four new specialized brush fire trucks, often referred to as "Skeeter" units. County officials say the trucks will help HCFR tackle fast-moving brush fires more efficiently. In 2026 alone, HCFR has already responded to hundreds more brush fires compared to previous years, underscoring a growing demand for the specialized equipment and rapid response capabilities.   For more information please see :   https://hcfl.gov/newsroom/2026/04/28/hillsborough-county-fire-rescue-adds-specialized-brush-trucks-to-strengthen-fire-response
