BENTON — The City of Benton will dedicate its new aerial fire truck Thursday at noon at the Benton Fire Station located at 107 N. Maple St.

The truck was approved by the Benton City Council about a year ago. It was built by Smeal Fire Apparatus of Omaha, NE. The truck will replace the current ladder truck that is over 30 years old. The city plans to sell that truck once the new truck is in place.

The public is invited to the dedication.
