The Coeur d’Alene Fire Department recently handed over to the North Idaho College Workforce Training Center the keys to one of its ladder trucks, giving students the chance to learn with a piece of equipment few colleges in the nation can claim.
“This is the first ladder truck the city of Coeur d’Alene ever staffed as a front-line apparatus,” Fire Chief Tom Greif said during a Sept. 13 ceremony marking the donation. “It’s being retired from service, but it still has a lot of life left in it. Now it will help train more firefighters we can hire in the years ahead.”
