Sublette County Unified Fire (WY) bought a new structural fire engine for Battalion No. 2 in the amount of $974,484, just under the total budgeted amount of $1 million dollars, SubletteExaminer.com reported.
Although the county will pay for the apparatus now, a fire official said it will take 31 months to build the new truck. It is scheduled to arrive in Big Piney/Marbleton in 2023, the report said.
The apparatus is an all-wheel-drive Pierce Velocity Engine with EZ Trac, the report said. By ordering before October 31 the county saved $62,427 and by pre-paying the county saved an additional $45,954.
