The Morehead Fire Department has officially been approved to replace their ladder truck that has serviced Morehead and Rowan County for the last 34 years. Morehead City Council voted unanimously last Monday during its monthly meeting for MFD Chief Jeff Anderson to begin the paperwork to buy the $1.1 million engine from Sutphen Corporation of Dublin, Ohio.
"When we talk about our role as government leaders, safety is always the main priority. This new engine will help provide our businesses and citizens with just that," said Mayor Jim Tom Trent. "The use of this new engine and all its features and updated technology, along with the hard work and dedication of our fire department, will go a long way in helping preserve the safety and property of the community."
