Greeley's New Fire Truck Tests Prove Superior
Greeley residents purchased a $9,500 fire engine on a share plan and tested it with three blazes including a wooden building and a straw stack. The fogging pump uses 800 pounds of air pressure to create a fine spray, extinguishing fires in under two minutes with less water. The truck, kept within 10 miles of town, is shared with neighboring departments in an regional association.
