Aerial Platform Fire Truck Fundraising Effort
In October 2020, the Culver-Union Township Fire Department took delivery of its first aerial fire truck. The aerial truck not only is a huge benefit to the community with the capability of rescue structures above 25 feet, but it also is a symbol of how the community has invested in the department. The $1.2 million truck was purchased with the assistance of members of the community far and wide who saw the need and invested in the safety of Culver. For that, we say “Thank YOU!”
