I am pleased to showcase our new ladder truck. It just arrived today (Friday). After mounting equipment and training, the department is hoping to have this vehicle in service mid-October. The unit cost $840,000 and was sold by Kevin Lueder of Fire Apparatus & Supply Team. It is on a Spartan Sirius chassis and has a 2,000-GPM pump, 300 gallons of water, and a 100′ tower ladder.
