The Pine Lake Fire Department in Oneida County will go ahead with replacement of one of its trucks.
The town board this week signed a contract to replace Engine 2, which has been in service for 31 years.
As the cost of a new truck was in the range of $1-million, Pine Lake opted to buy a 2007 Pierce Velocity 75 Foot ladder truck which they describe as being in great condition.
The cost will be $350,000.
They’re looking to pick up the truck in Landcaster, Pennsylvania, at the beginning of June.
Equipment and hoses from their existing Engine 2 will be transferred to the ladder truck.
Engine 2 will be put up for sale.
