The Pierre Fire Department is moving ahead with the purchase of a new fire engine, KCCRRadio.com reported.
A fire official said the 2023 budgeted truck is Fire Engine Number Two. The fire engine would arrive in 2024. The fire official said the new truck will be a commercial chassis and not a custom chassis.
The truck is destined for Fire Station Number Two which is an older station with narrower doors, but the fire official said the new rig will fit inside.
Bids for the truck are due by November 17.
