Minden firefighters have a new $620,000 weapon in their arsenal—a 77-foot Ferrara ladder—on which they’ve been perfecting their craft, reports press-herald.com.
This week, over three days, the department’s 15 full-time crew members have been learning the nuances of the new apparatus in field training, the report says. They’ve also received classroom instruction from a Ferrara official.
Fire officials say the truck should be ready for service by the end of this week.
