The city of Princeton soon will have a used fire truck for sale after the council approved an ordinance for the sale. The truck, a 1986 Pierce Lance fire engine, will be put up for sale for $10,000. A new truck, approved a year ago, will soon be in service for the department.
Ray Mabry, who gave the lone dissenting vote against the sale, offered his opinion that the truck should first be offered to mutual aid partners as a courtesy. Mabry said he knows of the excellent condition the truck has been kept in and thought it should not go to a wholesale auction before community partners had a shot at it.
