The 75-foot ladder truck will allow the fire department to fight fires in taller structures, especially those located on the campus of Texas A&M University-Commerce.

Funding for the truck is a joint university/ city effort, with A&M-Commerce funding $220,000, or one-third the cost of the $670,000 truck. The agreement from both sides came more than a year ago.
