Fire Chief Imrich Edam announced that the secondhand five fire trucks that were purchased recently are expected to arrive in the first half of 2027. According to Edam, 6 fire stations currently so not have a fire truck which is why other fire stations have to fill in for them. This puts a lot of pressure on the fire stations that have a fire truck that is in working condition. Edam explained that “the purchase of the five fire trucks is just a drop in the ocean because the fire department needs many more fire trucks. The arrival of the five fire trucks will bring a little relief. The fire chief pointed out that “it takes about one and a half year to build and deliver a new fire truck”. Officials therefore opted to buy secondhand fire trucks to help lift the shortage while the fire department waits for the new ones to arrive.
