The Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department will soon have a new fire truck in its fleet, as council recently voted to purchase a $779,114 pumper, reports triblive.com.
The apparatus, a Seagrave model TB50CT Marauder, will replace a 25-year-old truck at Hose Co. No. 6, the report notes.
The pumper has a lower bed in the back, a quieter cab, and a 1,500-gallons-per-minute pump. It should arrive in 18 months and will be paid for via funds from a nearly $1.1 million loan, which was finalized in February.
