Sturgeon County is excited to announce that its new Emergency Services aerial platform truck is now in service.
The new aerial platform truck, a Pierce Ascendant 110, was approved by Sturgeon County’s Council in the 2024 capital budget. This acquisition is the first of its kind for Sturgeon County Emergency Services and reflects the County’s proactive approach to ensuring robust, long-term emergency response capabilities and supporting community safety and growth.
This critical equipment enables Sturgeon County Emergency Services to respond effectively to incidents requiring additional height capabilities, such as large structure fires, industrial incidents, and rescues, with a vertical reach up to 110 feet / 33 meters, enhancing the Sturgeon County Emergency Services’ ability to manage complex emergency situations.
