“This truck will be equipped with over 200 feet of ground ladders and has a 100-foot aerial platform ladder capable of flowing 2,000 gallons per minute or lifting a load of up to 1,000 pounds,” said Deputy Chief Michael Sumner. “This truck is designed to carry a wide variety of forcible entry, ventilation and rescue equipment.”  

The department added Engine 4 to the community’s resources in March with the delivery of the $570,124 truck from Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton, Wisconsin. The same factory is building the $1.29 million ladder truck, with both trucks designed by members throughout the Wilson department.

Chief Albert Alston said the department currently has two ladder trucks and the new truck will meet Wilson’s needs for the next 15 to 20 years.
