The Harlan City Fire Department welcomed a new piece of equipment on Tuesday as the department’s new fire truck rolled into town fresh from the factory.
Harlan City Fire Chief Linette Hutchinson said the ladder truck has a 2,000 gallon per minute pump capacity.
“It can pump water, plus it has a 107-foot aerial ladder,” Hutchinson said.
She explained the truck would be a much needed asset should one of the taller buildings in Harlan, such as the high rise apartment building or Harlan ARH Hospital, require it.
