The Kalona Fire Department’s new truck is expected to arrive in the next week. The department placed an order for a new fire engine with Alexis Fire Equipment Company in May of last year. The $560,000 truck was paid for using proceeds from the department’s annual breakfast and a grant from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation. The new engine replaces one they’ve used for the last 20 years. Kalona Fire Chief Steve Yotty says they should get that many years out of the new one, if not more.
