PHOTO: The Lynn Haven Fire Department had its first-ever push-in ceremony Wednesday morning to welcome its newest addition. The nearly million-dollar ladder truck is one of a kind and took 19 months to build. Lynn Haven Fire Chief John DeLonjay said the state-of-the-art fire truck was completely custom built. “We took from the junior fireman with six months of service all the way up to myself to create and design this truck,” DeLonjay said. “This is strictly a custom truck. So there was a lot of input from the men and women that actually drive and operate this truck on a daily basis to help better function and provide protection to the community.” One of the features of this new fire truck is an air scrubber. This will filter out the carcinogens inside the cab after a fire helping to reduce the chance of cancer in firefighters.
