Charlottetown replaces 26-year-old fire truck

A new rescue truck arrived earlier this week at the Charlottetown Fire Department.

The truck replaces one purchased in 1992.

The tender was awarded last year to Micmac Fire & Safety Source and was valued at $765,417.

In a news release, the city said the 2018 single-axle heavy rescue truck will equip firefighters with advanced tools to respond to emergencies.
