A $7.2 million photo was taken Sept. 30 in the county administration parking lot. It's a group shot of the 18 new fire trucks now in station houses across Lancaster County. "It's an awesome thing to stand there and see all that apparatus side by side like that," said Darren Player, Lancaster County Fire Rescue director.
Purchased through a $7.2 million bond package in 2015, the new fire trucks replace about one third of the fleet at the county’s 18 volunteer stations and one truck at the Lancaster Fire Department. The bonds are issued in seven-year cycles, so that each vehicle is replaced about every 21 years.
