N«w Fire Truck for Nome
Nome is to have a new fire
truck, it has been announced by
the City Council. The truck has
been ordered, and will probably
be delivered this fall.
The need for a new truck was
found to be very necessary, as the
present truck is now over twenty
years old, and is qualified for
only stand-by service.
The fire insurance rate is de
termined by the quality of the
firefighting equipment, and this
factor alone made it imperative
for the city to make the expen
diture at this time.
The new truck will cost $12,000,
but will be bought on liberal
terms, so that the capital expense
will be spread over three years.
The new fire truck will have
many new and automatic features
for quicker action at any fire.
