Jackson (MI) Approves Purchase of $1.2 Million Fire Apparatus

The JFD is purchasing a 2018 Pierce ladder truck for $1.15 million through the city's capital improvement bonds. The truck is being built from scratch and won't be ready until at least November 2018, said David Wooden, deputy director of fire services.

It will replace the department's only other ladder truck, which was purchased new in 1995. City Council approved the purchase 7-0 at its Tuesday, Dec. 19 meeting.
