In the not-too-distant future, there will be some shifting among the Fire Department fleet.
The department is expected to have a new rescue engine in its possession within the next week, and the Village Board on Monday night will act on the approval of a contract to bring a new quint/aerial engine into the fold.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the board continues to meet virtually.
Phone attendees are not able to participate actively in the meeting.
Fire Chief Craig Roepke said the new engine from Reliant Fire Apparatus of Slinger was put into the plans a year ago, and the $1,129,059 price tag will come from the 2021 budget.
Once it’s delivered and up and running, it will replace two older engines that will be taken out of service. The estimate from Reliant states the vehicle should be delivered within about 16 months from the execution of the contract.
