At approximately 10:45
p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, the Sedalia Fire Department responded to a
fire at the Harrison Apartments, located at 700 W. 3rd Street. The
newest addition to the Sedalia Fire Department's equipment, the big Ladder
Truck #2 - a 100' platform aerial fire truck - was soon put into
action to address the flames in this three story building; a primary motivation
behind the purchase of this particular fire truck.
"Sedalia’s new Aerial Platform
truck was very instrumental in preventing further damage to this structure and
possibly surrounding properties," stated Fire Chief Mike Ditzfeld. The purchase of the aerial platform truck was
approved by City Council in September 2012 with the truck receiving its first call on June 5, 2014. Photo credit: Walker Photography
