MEDINA – The Village of Medina’s ladder truck is officially for sale. It was listed this morning on an online site that sells fire trucks and other emergency vehicles and equipment.
The website, shopgarage.com, lists the 2025 quint fire truck with a 100-foot ladder for $2.4 million. That is about $700,000 more than Medina’s deal for the truck. Medina in March 2023 agreed to pay $1,698,995.
The Village Board on Feb. 9 voted to declare the truck surplus, to begin the process of selling it.
Medina is working with a broker at shopgarage.com to get a big exposure for the truck, trying to get the biggest price possible, said Scott Bieliski, a Medina trustee. The broker gets a 5 percent fee or $120,000 if the truck sells for $2.4 million.
There is a lot of interest in the truck, Bieliski said during Monday’s Village Bord meeting. He said a contingent from Rochester, Minnesota was in Medina on Friday to look over the ladder truck.
Three of the five board members on Feb. 9 voted to declare the truck surplus, saying the village can’t afford the truck and an addition on the fire hall to house it.
Shop Garage lists the following about the truck:
