The truck is a 2003 Spartan with a Salisbury rescue body, and is equipped with a water tank with a high volume pumping capacity, multiple compartments for rescue equipment including airbags to lift heavy objects, pre-connected extrication equipment, and a large winch on the front for pulling or as an aid to stabilizing vehicles.

The DFD’s drone is a DJI Inspire 1. It has a thermal imaging camera and regular camera, along with a “storks” kit, which includes a claw. The drone can carry up to five pounds and can drop its payload in a specific spot.

Cesare Payne and Jordan Lakins both are charged with burglary and theft, $2,500 to $10,000.

According to a police report, firefighters at Station 11 went on a call the night of July 4. When they returned around midnight, they secured the building and went to bed.

Somehow the suspects were able to get away with a Cannondale mountain bike, two laptops, headphones, a backpack, two wallets, two cellphones, cash, one of the victim’s driver’s license, a Social Security card and two credit cards. In all, the suspects got away with more than $5,000 in stolen goods.

According to the agreement between the city and Bruce Laukka Inc., construction will cost $922,230, while the two design phases will cost $45,790, and $31,980, respectively. City Manager Nate Rudy said the goal all along was for the entire project to stay under the $1 million amount — as stipulated by the anonymous donor — and this plan from the general contractor leaves no wiggle room.

Walker said the city hasn’t built any contingency into the budget in the event the cost climbs over $1 million, and he said the contractor would have to get city approval before proceeding if that happened.

Last year, borough officials began considering buying a new truck to replace a 1973 American LaFrance Snorkel truck. Buying it brand new wasn’t an option, borough Manager Joe Kauer said, considering the amount of fire equipment the borough needed.

Among the equipment bought were a 2008 Pierce Ladder Truck to replace the 1973 vehicle, a 2004 Pierce Pumper to replace a 1977 pumper truck and a 2017 Ford Explorer to replace a 2001 Ford Expedition that needed extensive repairs. The borough also bought a 1993 fire engine from Fair Oaks Volunteer Fire Department that will be used as a rescue and reserve engine.
