The city expects to regain the services of one ladder truck Monday night and a second one Tuesday, city Fire Chief Jim Wehr said in a statement Monday.  

The 9-year-old primary ladder truck and 10-year-old reserve ladder truck have been out of service for about two weeks, according to Jeremy Warmkessel, president of the local fire union. Allentown’s been here before — it had no ladder trucks for a five-day period two years ago, helping ignite an outcry over the Pawlowski administration’s perceived neglect of the department.
