The Shelton Fire Department could soon be sporting some new trucks. The Board of Aldermen Tuesday approved borrowing up to $1.35 million from Newtown Savings Bank to purchase fire trucks and equipment. While the city and department continue to evaluate needs, Mayor Mark Lauretti said his plans are to buy two new trucks possibly within the next 60 to 90 days. Deputy Fire Chief Paul Wilson said the department hopes to replace the tower truck at Echo Hose Hook and Ladder Company 1. Wilson said the present tower is a 1996 KME 95-foot platform tower that has “experienced many significant mechanical failures over the past five years. “The new tower the department is looking to purchase is a 2020 Pierce Accendant with a 100-foot platform,” Wilson said.
