North Judson Fire Department to Buy Brush Truck

 

The North Judson-Wayne Township Fire Department is getting a new vehicle. A Ford F-350 is being purchased, to serve as the department’s new brush truck.

North Judson Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins says the fire department will continue to use its old truck for incidents in wooded areas. Oliver Ford in Plymouth submitted the low bid, for just under $29,000.

Collins notes that the purchase had been planned for this year, as part of the department’s vehicle replacement schedule. She adds that funding is coming from both the town and the township, with some of that money being encumbered from last year’s budget.
