After years of using hand-me-down apparatus, Terra (UT) has gotten its first new fire truck, ever, in its 40-year history, according to a report published by KSLTV 5.
According to the report, the new brush truck cost about $100,000and was funded by Tooele County under the Utah Cooperative Wildfire Systems. It is equipped with firefighting and medical gear.
Before the new truck arrived, firefighters could not depend on the apparatus being reliable and often joked they shouldn’t turn off the trucks until they returned to the station for fear of them not starting again, according to the report.
