NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The town of Nolensville has been one of the fastest-growing areas over the last several years.
But until recently, the town didn't have a way to fight fires at some of its biggest and tallest buildings -- as more people continued to move in.
To fix that, three years ago, the then-volunteer department even tried asking for donations for a ladder truck.
Now as a paid department, grant money has opened up to help pay for equipment like a new ladder truck they have ordered to help battle blazes in a growing town.
The truck is still about a year out. Officials say they picked a more readily available model compared to the standard wait time other departments are seeing for new fire trucks: approaching a four-year wait list due to backlogs.
Nolensville is also preparing to open a new fire station to help house some of the new equipment.
