Sometime in mid-2022, when a fire alarm rings in Geneva, a state-of-the-art, five-in-one fire vehicle will roll out from Station 1.
Aldermen gave preliminary approval Tuesday to ordering a Pierce Enforcer 110' PUC Quint Platform to be custom-built at a cost of no more than $1.2 million.
It's not just a fire truck. Or a fire engine. According to Geneva Fire Chief Mike Antenore, like an engine, it will carry hoses and ladders. Like a truck, it will carry firefighting equipment. It will have a tank for water, like a pumper. And, then there is the aerial platform, which can reach up to 110 feet off the ground for rescues and the ability to douse fires from high above.
