The Palmyra Fire Department will take delivery of a new fire truck tonight, Wednesday, July 30th, at 7:00 PM.  The fire truck was manufactured by Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. located in Appleton, Wisconsin.  The manufacturer will deliver the vehicle this evening to the Fire House.  Palmyra Firemen Tom Locke, Sr. and Dale Palmer traveled to the factory several weeks ago for a final inspection.  The older fire truck that this new apparatus is replacing, a 1997 Pierce Spartan Gladiator, will be sold on government auction site GovDeals.com.  Proceeds will be used to offset future tax levies.

All residents are invited to attend tonight’s special event!
