Village council recently voted to purchase a new ladder truck for the Byesville Volunteer Fire Department, reports daily-jeff.com.
The 100-foot 1999 aerial will be purchased from Command Fire Apparatus of Landisville (PA) and will replace the department’s 45-year-old apparatus, the report says.

The truck costs $159,000, and the village will initially pay $26,000, which includes a $10,000 donation from the Byesville Fireman’s Association, according to the report.
Byesville will take out a five-year loan with a fixed interest rate of no more than 2.99% on the remaining $133,000.
