(El Centro Fire Department Open House)....It was held Saturday at Station #2 on Waterman in El Centro.

Visitors were able to view something special. The Fire Department had just received at 109 foot ladder truck from South Dakota. Officials say it has taken them about two years to get the new truck. The new Ladder Truck was put on display at the Open House. Visitors got to see it before the vehicle is put in service. It will be completely prepped and put in service by the end of November. The new vehicle is replacing a 20 year old 75 foot Aerial. The new truck will allow them to reach more areas at reduced risk to the firefighters.
