The Culver-Union Township Fire Department’s new aerial fire truck is in the building process.
Fire Chief Ken VanDePutte said the cab is complete and it’s now in Kansas until April when the ladder will be installed. Following that, it will travel to Minnesota for body completion.
The truck is expected to be delivered in June.
The Rosenbauer 100-foot low-profile Viper Aerial Fire Truck was purchased at a price of about $1,008,000. The funds are coming from the Town of Culver, Union Township, Culver Academies, and as many as 125 donors.
The new aerial fire truck will help firefighters battle fires and perform rescues from a building that is more than two stories tall.
