Newest fire truck the largest yet
PRINCE GEORGE – Ladder 21 is the biggest of the trucks in the Prince George Fire Department’s fleet. It’s decked out with a 110-foot ladder and powered with a 600-horse Cummins diesel engine. And it is the newest in the department’s fleet, purchased in April. As such, every single firefighter in the department is trained on it.
“It’s just about being patient,” explains Bryan Burleigh. “At the end of the day, we’re professional drivers and we need to be able to read the road and plan our routes and predict what other people on the roadway are going to do.”
