(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Fire Department’s new pumper truck is ready for service.
City Commissioners got a first hand look at the new truck, which was recently delivered, prior to their meeting Tuesday evening.
The truck will be used primarily on rural calls, and replaces a 1974 truck.
Commissioners last October approved the purchase of the truck from Snyder, Nebraska-based Smeal Fire Apparatus Company for nearly $264,000.
The majority of the funding for the new truck comes from a $338,000 loan/grant awarded to the city through USDA Rural Development for the purchase of public safety equipment. The city provided around $38,000 from the capital outlay fund.
