MUSCLE SHOALS - In a little less than a month, the city's newest fire truck is expected to arrive. Mayor David Bradford said the new pumper truck was built in Ocala, Florida, by E-One. He said it will now go to Fairhope for testing, but should be in operation in two or three weeks.

The custom-built pumper will have a 1,000-gallon capacity water tank.
