The city of Quincy this week took delivery of its new $1.65 million Pierce aerial fire truck.

It has a 100-foot ladder and replaces a 1995 model, which will remain in service.

The apparatus cost $1.5 million plus another $150,000 worth of equipment, too, reports columbiabasinherald.com.

Officials note that if the city had waited any longer the price would increase by 25%.

Greene County detectives are asking for help while looking for two men wanted for causing about $3,000 worth of damage to Pleasant Hope’s Ebenezer Fire Station 3 on February 26 around 5 p.m., reports ky3.com.

Video shows a black Ford F-250 pull up to the facility, located on East State Highway CC, before two men exit to urinate. After relieving themselves, the men get back in the truck and drive in circles—aka do doughnuts—in the lot, which caused gravel to fly and break several windows.
