I'm excited to announce that our new ladder truck has just arrived today, Friday. Once the equipment is installed and the team completes training, we expect the unit to be fully operational by mid-October. The truck was purchased from Kevin Lueder at Fire Apparatus & Supply Team for a total of $840,000. It's built on a Spartan Sirius chassis and features a 2,000-GPM pump, 300 gallons of water capacity, and a 100-foot tower ladder. This is a major upgrade for our department and will greatly enhance our ability to respond to high-rise fires and other emergencies.
