Firefighters with the Vernon Fire Department will dedicate a new aerial on Saturday with a traditional “wet-down” ceremony, according to a report published by Patch.com.
According to the report, Tower 541 is a 2022 Pierce rear-mount aerial with a price tag of $1.1 million and will replace a 1994 model that served the town well.
The truck has many features not available when the truck it replaces was purchased nearly 30 years ago, according to the report.
