Wilmette’s Public Safety Committee prefers buying the available used ladder truck, pending staff due diligence and approval by the full Village Board. The used truck is not built to the Village’s specifications, but staff said its differences were acceptable trade-offs. A new truck would cost about $100,000 more and could take until approximately July–October 2029 to arrive.
