KAULAUNA — The Kaukauna Fire Department’s new ladder truck has arrived at the station downtown.

Residents can expect to see the new machine out and about over the next few weeks as they train and certify firefighters on the new equipment’s enhanced capabilities.

Once in service, the new truck will replace the 1995 Pierce ladder truck.

A dedicated committee poured countless hours into designing this truck specifically for Kaukauna’s needs, ensuring it will serve our community effectively for years to come, according to the department’s annual report.

The Common Council voted to approve ordering the new truck in 2022 from Pierce Manufacturing.
