Increased growth has prompted the Kyle Fire Department to purchase its first ladder truck for $800,000, which Fire Chief Kyle Taylor said would be a “helpful resource” for the growing community.
The new ladder truck is being paid for with a seven-year note using ad valorem taxes to cover the expense.
Taylor said the brand new ladder truck is still in Wisconsin; KFD staff plans on traveling to Wisconsin Feb. 11 to complete the final inspection. Taylor said he expects the ladder truck to arrive in Kyle around March 1.
