Ridgefield residents have unanimously approved to buy two fire trucks for about $1.8 million — a purchase that’s greatly needed, a city official said, StamfordAdvocate.com reported.
The cost of the trucks, which is almost $1.77 million, is part of the town’s five-year capital plan. There was a new truck specified in the budget for 2023 and 2024. However, the town has requested to move those purchases up, due to the poor condition of its current fire trucks, the report said.
The delivery time for the fire trucks is about 17 months from the time of order.
