Fire Trucks in Crisis | Lawrence News

Published 4 days, 8 hours ago
Description

Fire departments across the U.S. are in crisis as critical fire engines sit idle for years—some waiting over four years for a ladder truck, others hit with sky-high “floating prices” after paying deposits. The blame? Big manufacturers like REV Group and Oshkosh allegedly colluded to restrict competition, driving up costs and delivery times. Cities are suing, state attorneys general are investigating, and Congress is demanding federal action—because this isn’t just about trucks; it’s about whether communities can afford lifesaving emergency response.
