The Villages (FL) Receives New $1 Million Fire Truck

According to a report from The Villages Daily Sun, The Villages Public Safety Department (VPS) Chief Edmund Cain announced that he and his crew will soon put into service a new $1 million fire truck featuring a ladder capable of reaching the roof of a 10-story building.

The new truck offers VPS the capability to easily reach the top of the tallest structures in The Villages, which includes the Brownwood Hotel & Spa and Freedom Pointe at The Villages.

Cain said that one main reason VPS wanted this new equipment was to help improve the department’s grade from the Insurance Services Office, whose rating is based on four factors: the fire department’s capabilities, its emergency communications system, its available water supply, and risk reduction.
