During its regular meeting today the Sedalia City Council will vote to approve a bid for a 100-foot ladder truck for the Sedalia Fire Department.
The truck will replace the department’s current 75-foot ladder truck which is 15-years-old. SFD Deputy Chief Greg Harrell said the purchase has been in the planning stages for the past few years.
