Sloatsburg (NY) VFD Welcomes New Fire Apparatus

Sloatsburg's new 78' Aerial Ladder Truck arrived in the village Municipal Lot. Word of mouth spread as members of the Sloatsburg Fire Department made their way over to Village Hall to take a look at the department's first ever ladder truck.
Both the ladder truck and rescue/pumper truck will be housed in a planned new fire truck garage which will be constructed in the northeast corner of the Municipal Lot sometime in early 2017. The planned garage will match the Municipal Building in design, complete with brick facade. The current small building next to Municipal Building that acts as a fire department equipment garage will be demolished to make room for additional parking.

Until the new SFD garage is built, the department’s Ladder Truck will be housed at the Sloatsburg Public Works Department garage. SFD members will also soon undergo ladder truck training at the Rockland County Fire Training Center.
