City Council members approved the purchase of a new Spartan ladder truck for the Colleyville Fire Department during the March 21 City Council meeting.
The new truck has an estimated cost of $2 million, and will be built and delivered by April 2025.
As of March, the fire department has three engines with an expected 18 years of service life as well as an aerial truck with an expected service life of 15 years, according to Colleyville Fire Chief Mark Cantrell. The department’s existing aerial truck is a 2010 model and will be sold once the newer model is delivered in 2025.
Cantrell also presented apparatus response statistics that showed how the department’s aerial truck helped cut down service calls by 26% over the past four years by providing more efficient runs.
