New fire truck coming to Eclectic Fire Department

Cliff Williams / TPI The Eclectic Volunteer Fire Department recently took delivery of a new to them tower truck. The aerial will aid in fires of large structures and help prevent fire spreading to other structures.

Volunteer fire departments are stretching every dollar they have.

They must do exactly that with the cost of equipment so high and fire trucks costing in the $1 million or more range.
