The Orangeburg Department of Public Safety has three new fire trucks, which were christened Tuesday.
The new apparatus are expected to last 12 to 20 years, and they range from $600,000 to $1.4 million, reports wltx.com. They were made possible via lease-purchase agreement from the city.
Officials say one of the predecessors was 23 years old and experienced frequent hydraulic leaks. The new trucks have updated technology and are more modern in general, the report notes.
