An order has been placed for a new truck that will be added to the Riverside Fire Department’s fleet. It will take around 10 months to have the 107 foot ladder truck built and delivered.

The loan for the $755,000 truck will be paid down using $300,000 budgeted by the city, a $125,000 Washington County Riverboat Foundation grant, $105,000 in donations given to the newly formed Riverside Emergency Services Association and proceeds from the sale of an existing truck the city is working on selling.
