Gilbert Fire and Rescue is adding an electric-powered pumper truck to its diesel fleet, becoming the second Valley municipality to go this route.
Town Council approved spending $775,000 to buy the Volterra fire engine and $270,000 for an electric vehicle charger. Fire officials said the town is getting an electrified fire pumper at a substantial price reduction with minimal upfront cost.
