The Mountain Home Fire Department accepted delivery on its newest fire truck Tuesday.
The 2015 Sutphen ladder truck arrived on a flatbed trailer from Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus in Union Grove, Ala. The truck, which measures 47.5 feet long, had to be unloaded at the Street Department office on Highway 201 North and then driven downtown to its new home at Fire Station No. 1.
The Sutphen, which had previously been in service with a fire department in Schenectady, N.Y., replaces a 1984 Grumman AerialCat ladder truck that has been in service with the city since 1987.
Grumman Emergency Products, a subsidiary of aircraft manufacturer Grumman Aerospace Corporation, closed its doors in 1992. Because of that, replacement parts for the 37-year-old the AerialCat are almost nonexistent. When the Sutphen was purchased in May 2020, it was believed Mountain Home’s AerialCat was one of only three still on duty in the United States.
