The Princeton City Council approved the purchase of a new tender March 23 to replace Tender Two at Wyanett Station, hometownsource.com reported.

Tender Two will then be sold with funds returning to the truck replacement reserve fund. This purchase is part of the overall truck replacement plan approved in 2019, the report said.

The cost of the new tender is $372,563. The truck replacement reserve fund currently has just under $343,000 in it. The remaining funds will be taken from the fire equipment reserve fund, according to the report.

The budget forecast for continued replacement of fire trucks includes a predicted $1 million expenditure in 2028 for the replacement of Engine Eight, the report said.

A massive three-alarm fire broke out Tuesday morning, authorities said. The blaze is at the Johnson Motor Lines warehouse on Lehigh Drive.

Northampton County Emergency Management Services is at the scene and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will be at the site performing air quality tests.
