The Texarkana Texas Fire Department ordered a $635,000 new pumper truck set to arrive in late 2020, reports ArkLaTexhomepage.com.
Assistant Fire Chief Chris Black says getting a new custom pumper truck means fewer maintenance issues and a larger tank that can hold up to 750 gallons of water. Most trucks can only hold 500 gallons.
Officials say through the capital replacement program, funding has been set aside to cover the $635,000 price tag which includes customization.
