New equipment is coming to Fire Station 5 in Decatur. The city council approved half a million dollars to get a new fire truck. Decatur Fire and Rescue said this truck is a much-needed addition to the department. The department said it's replacing a 19-year-old truck that lived well beyond its life span. The department planned to wait a year or two before asking the council for a new truck, but officials worried the truck would break down, costing thousands of dollars to fix The department said the truck had a lot of wear and tear over its life-span because of the equipment it carries, how fast it has to go and how hard firefighters have to slam on the brakes when responding to a scene. They said the new truck is going to have a new layout they are all excited for.
