PHOTOS: The Fort Hall Fire Department has recently acquired four new fire trucks to provide better emergency services to the community. Fire Chief Eric King of the Fort Hall Fire Department said they have 14 emergency vehicles. Many of them have different capabilities. The new fire trucks are a 100-foot ladder truck, a heavy rescue truck and two water tenders. King said the department’s old trucks were becoming too expensive to maintain. He said the old ladder truck that they replaced was particularly expensive to take care of. “Hopefully it will decrease the maintenance bill for what we have,” he said about acquiring the new fire trucks. King said the new heavy rescue truck is a better truck for their needs. It is larger and is able to fit more people than the Fire Department’s previous rescue vehicle.
