Coldwater (MI) firefighters have received permission from the city council to buy a new apparatus with a budget of up to $700,000, according to a report published by WTVB.
The station reported the money will be used to replace an American LaFrance 1997 unit, known as Rescue 1 which was placed in reserve in 2010 when Engine 7 was put in service, according to the station.
If the department is able to place an order for a new apparatus, it’s estimated it will be completed in late 2022 or early 2023, according to the report, that added that Rescue 1 will be sold after the new apparatus is placed in service.
