Commission OKs fire truck, cellular phone contract

Saline County Commissioners Tuesday approved the purchase of a quick-attack fire truck to haul water and foam for Rural Fire District 6, Smolan, at a cost of $103,500, from Weis Fire & Safety of Salina.

The demo unit was estimated to cost less than a new unit, which would range from $115,000 to $125,000, said Rural Fire Chief Larry Hall.
