Ladder 3 Progress

Written by Staff

September 18, 2008

Officers recently traveled once again to the KME plant to view the progress on the department's next tractor-drawn ladder truck. Once work to the predator cab is completed, it will be sent to another facility to be mounted onto a chassis then mated to a trailor for the aerial ladder. The rig is slated for assignment to Ladder 3. There is no definitive delivery date as of yet.
