The Prior Lake Fire Department has been a busy place. I just wish I could be there to see all of the changes in person. Last week, city council members and firefighters came together for a ground breaking ceremony officially starting the construction of our second fire station. Fire station number 2 will be located on County Road 21 at Fountain Hills Drive. Station number 2 is scheduled to open in the spring of 2008. For more info, visit:
PLFD recently took delivery on 2 new fire trucks as well.
PLFD 9222
They took delivery of truck number 9222, a new pumper built by Custom Fire Apparatus in Osceola, WI. 9222 features a 2006 Peterbilt 335 chassis, seating for 6 firefighters, a 750 gallon water tank, 1750 gallon per minute pump, and enclosed pump panel. The truck was delivered in July of 2007. 9222 is an addition to the PLFD fleet in preparation for fire station number 2.
PLFD 9280PLFD also took delivery of truck number 9280, a new areal platform built by E-One in Ocala, FL. 9280 features a 2007 E-One Cyclone II chassis and a 100' Bronto-Lift articulated areal platform. 9280 replaces our old ladder truck, a 1985 American LaFrance with a 75' areal ladder.

You know...you're lucky to be missing all of the construction on CR 21. You would've never made it to any fire calls because they have closed Franklin Trl. and 21. It should be done by Nov., just in time for your return!!! YEAH! Then you can make it to all of the calls and play on the new trucks.
