The Fire Control Prevention and Emergency Services District has delivered!
“During October 2016, the FCPEMSD Board approved replacement of our 20 year old, 65 foot ladder truck with a new 105 foot ladder truck,” Fire Chief Don Davis said. “This truck will be similar to our existing truck in that it will be built on a single axle chassis, allowing it to be maneuvered on many of the narrower streets in the city. The advantage though is that with the extended reach of the ladder, 65 foot to 105 foot, it will be much more capable of fighting fires on homes that are further off the street as in some newer subdivisions. The longer ladder will also improve our elevated rescue capabilities."
What about the old Ladder 22?
Davis said “We will be keeping the older ladder truck as a reserve ladder/pumper in order to have a fill in truck should one of our other trucks need to go out of service for maintenance.”
