Dozens of people embraced a beautiful fall morning Monday to watch the city break ground on a new fire station, Recorder.com reported.

Mayor Roxann Wedegartner kicked off the ceremony at the former open-air market property on Main Street near Coombs Avenue before Fire Chief Robert Strahan addressed the crowd and welcomed speakers from the project’s consulting and design firm, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the city’s Fire Station Building Committee, the report said.

The station at 41 Main Street is expected to be completed in a little more than a year at a cost of $21.7 million, according to the report.

The Mt. Pleasant City Council approved the purchase of a new 100 foot Midmount Ascendant aerial for the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department to replace the current 1990 aerial used by the department, southeastiowaunion.com reported.

According to the proposal presented to the City Council, the purchase price for this new truck is $1,810,000, the report said.

The new truck will seat five firefighters, carry 300 gallons of water, and is capable of pumping 2,000 gallons of water. The department’s current truck does not have a water tank.

The fire department is hopeful to take delivery of the new truck in 16 to 18 months.
