The new truck was constructed by Rosenbauer America in Lyons, and Heiman Fire Inc. will supply the equipment for the engine on Thursday.
Paid for largely through fundraisers, Doering said, the truck will have several community benefits, including decreasing the cost of fire insurance. It will also have traffic control lights and signage to be used when responding to fires on or along roadways, Doering said.
And it will be equipped to handle more than just structure fires, though that will be its first priority.
The engine will be available for use on grass fires, house fires, car fires and more, Doering said, making it more versatile than the department's other fire trucks.
The fire department paid for approximately $100,000 of the truck's cost out-of-pocket and $215,000 through a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Grant.
