Wyoming Fire Chief Mike Vasey says their new rescue truck will be delivered Thursday, March 10, almost two years to the day their last one was destroyed in a multi-vehicle crash during snow storm on Hwy. 402.
"It's a fully customized Rosenbauer 10-man cab so we can carry all the equipment and all the men we need to take on any fire or accident," says Vasey.
A new tanker is expected to be delivered in the next couple of weeks to replace one also destroyed in a 402 collision.
The fire department has been leasing a rescue truck for the past two years.
When they ordered the new rescue truck it cost $600,000, but it would be significantly higher now because of the exchange rate on the loonie.
