The Homewood Village Board agreed to a $1.3 million purchase of a new fire truck at the Jan. 14 board meeting. Fire Chief Bob Grabowski said the cost is double what the last fire engine cost in 2019.
The new fire truck will be a Pierce Enforcer model, and will be purchased from MacQueen Emergency Group of Saint Paul, Minnesota, for $1,385,000.
The chief acknowledged, “That’s a lot of money.”
