It won’t be new, but the city will have a replacement for its oldest fire truck.
The council voted unanimously to purchase the pump truck from a dealer in Springfield, Mo., for $71,750. The city will trade in its current truck for $15,000.
The truck, a 1987 Pierce Lance, has a capacity of 1,000 gallons of water and can carry 10 firefighters. The truck it replaces only carries two firefighters.
The council went ahead with the purchase after examining the possibility of buying a ladder upgrade instead.

After spending more than a year at the intersection of Church and 14th streets as a crossing guard, Jean Farmer has noticed a few things.
She has seen all manner of drivers and some of them, too many of them, just aren’t safe, she said.

“The kids needed somebody,” Farmer said.
