(KNZA)--The Horton Fire Department will be getting a newer aerial truck.
The Horton City Commission, during a January 28 special meeting, approved the purchase of a 1993 International truck with less than 13,000 miles for a cost of $25,000. The truck has a 50-foot ladder.
It will replace their aging 1983 truck that doesn't meet standards.
The newer truck will lower the city's ISO rating, meaning businesses will pay less for insurance.
The Fire Department will also be replacing the air compressor used for their for self contained breathing apparatus gear. The existing compressor is from the late 70's and parts are rare.
Purchase of the fire truck and compressor will be financed through $30,000 lease purchase agreement with First Option Bank, at an interest rate of 1.73 percent. Bids were received from three banks.
