New Fire Truck for Thornhill - Nov 1, 2002

The new truck will replace 21-year-old Ladder 3 truck which would have cost over $65,000 in repairs to add at most 5 years to its life. The entire department is extremely pleased with the new purchase, from chief Art Hill, down through the ranks to even the junior firefighters such as Amelia Nystrom who happily showed this reporter the truck. The truck offers not only greater capability but also better safety and comfort for the firefighters, a welcome improvement.
