Minot Fire Department Looking For New Fire Truck

(Minot, ND) — The Minot Fire Department is looking to replace one of its fire trucks. Fire Chief Kelli Kronschnabel says getting a new truck costs 800-thousand dollars or more, so they’re looking to acquire a used one, which would cost between 200 and 400-thousand dollars. Fire officials say in addition to the higher cost, getting a brand-new truck delivered can take two or three years. The city of Minot has also created a vehicle equipment replacement fund manager to help get the most out of its equipment.
