GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Almost everyone loves that new car smell. Even firefighters, whose sense of smell may be a little dulled from sniff

We sure are proud of the new truck! Thank you to our Fire Board and Administration for making this happen and all the work behind the scenes by Brother Clute along with the other apparatus committee members!

There’s nothing better than seeing a brand new truck in action!
Reliant team members delivered Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department’s new Pierce Ascendant® 107’ Heavy-Duty Aerial Ladder last week, and less than 8 minutes later, the stick was in the air. That’s exactly what we love to see!
This new apparatus will replace a 2007 Pierce Arrow XT 75’ Aerial Ladder, as Truck 1 begins its next chapter serving the community.
Thank you, Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department, for your continued trust and partnership. We’re proud to be part of the delivery and know this truck will serve your department and community for many years to come!
Welcome home, Truck 1!
