You may have seen Lebanon firefighters training on it, testing out all the bells and whistles on their new $867,000 ladder truck. It's hard to miss, especially since it's been parked outside of the fire station and not inside.
It doesn't fit inside either firehouse. Taxpayers had concerns and came to WLWT for answers.
Lebanon city manager Pat Clements said the problems starts with Ladder 41, the 1992 Seagrave ladder truck the department had been using.
"Due to significant mechanical failure, we had to take it out of service a few weeks ago," Clements said. "It was important for us to get a new ladder truck deployed as rapidly as possible for public safety purposes. It was important for us to keep a ladder truck operational and respond to emergencies."
