Sanger’s first Spartan Ladder Truck delivered

The Sanger Fire Department took delivery of their first Spartan apparatus in March of 2025. It features:  

•100' Mid Mount Platform

•Spartan Gladiator EMFD 5" Raised Roof Chassis

•Cummins X15 605 HP Engine

•Waterous CSUC20 2000 GPM Pump

•300 US Gallons Water Tank

• Harrison 10kW MCR Generator

“We’d like to thank Metro Fire Apparatus Specialists, Inc. and Spartan Emergency Response for assisting us in building Sanger Fire Department’s first aerial apparatus!”

This new Ladder Truck  is a fire truck provides five key firefighting tools in one vehicle: a water pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders; making it a versatile multi-purpose unit for fire departments. 

The Sanger Fire Department is still training on it and the new Ladder 1 will be operational in the near future.  A Push-In Ceremony will be held in April or May and the new truck was built with a lower profile to fit in the existing fire station.  

This truck will have a lot more functionality to fight a fire from an elevated level, anything higher than 2 stories.  This will help at  some downtown buildings, warehouses, such as Walmart Logistics, Holiday Inn, Sanger Bank, etc....  Sanger’s ISO rating is at a 4 right now and could change for better insurance rates with the new Ladder Truck.  It also prepares them for future growth.
