Sugar Grove FPD selling surplus apparatus

Here's a message from Christopher Holmes:

I recently found out that Sugar Grove Fire Protection District has removed their aerial ladder and is now selling it.

The seller's website is available here.

This aerial unit is being sold due to the lack of anticipated commercial retail development in the first-due area following the economic downturn. The aerial ladder is being replaced with a fire rescue pumper, which better suits the community's needs. The aerial is in excellent condition and has very low mileage.

You can find the full Meeting Minutes here, where they approved the sale:

This update highlights how local fire departments often adapt their equipment based on changing community needs and financial realities. It’s interesting to see how the decision to sell the aerial ladder was influenced by both economic factors and evolving firefighting strategies. If you're interested in the truck, be sure to check the seller's site for more details and updates on the sale process.
