Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown City Fire Hall was the scene of  a display of  a prototype ladder  fire truck that the Jamestown City Fire Department is interested in purchasing, in place of the old truck taken out of service due to equipment malfunctions and replacement costs.

At a recent Jamestown City Council Fire Committee meeting, Mayor Heinrich proposed funding options for the $1-millon ladder truck.

Mayor Heinrich proposes the cost to paid from one-third state funds, and the city and local industry cover two-thirds of the cost. He said donations, pledges, payment plans and the like need to extend over a five year period. Once the agreements are reached the city would be able to order the ladder truck.

City Fire Chief Jim Reuther this is the best plan of action, and that it “is doable.”

The committee recommends endorsing the action plan.
