Excerpts from wsiltv.com:

The Marion Fire Department has a new 100-foot aerial ladder truck. An official unveiling happened on Thursday at the Bank of Herrin.

The truck was paid for by the Julia Harrison Bruce Foundation and the Fred G. Harrison Foundation.

The Marion Fire Department says it’s in the process of refurbishing older fire trucks as well.

Once finished, those trucks will be donated to the Williamson County Fire Protection District and the Carterville Fire Department.
