The Waynesboro Volunteer Fire Department signed a contract to purchase a new aerial truck earlier this week. Fire officials will be going through Pierce Manufacturing for a truck that will cost $903,000. The 105-foot Pierce Arrow XT is expected to be delivered midway through 2018 and will be housed at the Potomac Street fire station.
The fire department has been in the planning stages for more than a year, forming a capital replacement committee to review proposals and pricing from multiple manufacturers.
