SV Fire District signs deal for Santa Cruz ladder truck
posted in truck |
Expecting construction of more multistory buildings, the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District has worked out a deal to bring an aerial ladder truck from Santa Cruz on initial fire response when needed.
The Scotts Valley district’s 27-year-old Van Pelt Telesquirt has only a 55-foot ladder, too short for use above three stories.
It would cost more than $600,000 to replace it with a 100-foot-ladder truck, fire Chief Mike McMurry reported to district directors, and the truck wouldn’t be needed very often.
As an alternative, directors agreed on an arrangement under, which Santa Cruz will provide a ladder truck in exchange for Scotts Valley responding to Santa Cruz wildland fires with a wildland engine and water tender.
