Daleville (AL) DPS Gets Keys to New Fire Truck

A new fire truck arrived at the Daleville Department of Public Safety Thursday, DothanEagle.com reported.

City officials were on hand to accept the keys from representatives of the Fairhope-based manufacturer Sunbelt Fire, the report said.

The truck is the third truck in the city’s DPS fleet, which includes a truck purchased in 1991 and another in 1999, according to the report.

Daleville and its jurisdiction are served by a 25-member volunteer fire department staffed by Daleville Department of Public Safety employees, city employees, and volunteers from the community. There are 25 members, the report said.

Purchase of the new fire truck was made possible through funds the city received from the American Rescue Plan Act. ARPA funds are federal funds allocated to local, county, and state governments to assist in recovery from the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic.
