McLennan Fire Rescue donates ladder truck to Bradford County; county thanks neighboring departments
Summary
Commissioners and county officials accepted a donated ladder truck from McLennan (McLinnea/McLennan in transcript) Fire Rescue; Fire Chief Carter and representatives from the donating agency attended a brief presentation and recognition.
Bradford County officials recognized a donated ladder truck from McLennan Fire Rescue during the April 1 meeting. The apparatus was parked outside the courthouse for the presentation and county officials thanked the city’s fire chief and board for the donation.
Chief Carter and representatives from the donating department said the ladder truck had been well maintained and never involved in a crash, and county officials said the vehicle will provide a resource the county previously lacked. Commissioners noted the apparatus will not be staffed full time but will be available as a “tool in the toolbox” for incidents that require an aerial ladder, replacing the prior need to rely exclusively on mutual aid for ladder truck response.
No formal procurement or budget action was recorded; the item was presented for acceptance and recognition and commissioners and staff thanked the donating department.
