The Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Co. welcomed its new Pierce Aerial 107-foot ladder truck on Aug. 11. The truck will be dedicated to Tuckerton residents in memory of Elmer Luker.

According to the TFC Facebook page, the new truck will be fully operational in October as members are trained by the Pierce company on operation and maintenance. Equipment still must be installed and the TFC graphics applied. An older truck named “Elmer” is being phased out.
