Half of the fleet at the Glace Bay Fire Department is currently out of service following last week’s flooding, including a million dollar ladder truck.
Halifax Fire says the truck they are sending will be stationed in Sydney, but will be able to respond to calls in Glace Bay or North Sydney if needed, especially with heavy rain in the forecast for this weekend.
