NITRO, W.Va. (WSAZ) - One fire department in our area is reaching new heights.

The Nitro Fire Department got a new tower ladder truck and showed it off today at the Pumpkin Drop.

The department got the new fire truck back in June after the old truck served the community since 1997.

The new fire truck goes 25 feet higher than the old one.

Firefighters say they can get better positioning with the new one.
