The new trucks that the Salamander Company will be using for the next 15 years.
On Nov. 13, the Oceanside Fire Department christened its two newest trucks in a ceremonial wetdown.
The department broke bottles of champagne over the bumpers of its two newest rides: a 2010 and a 2011 Seagraves truck. They will be replacing tower ladder and bucket ladder trucks in the Salamander Hook, Ladder and Bucket Company. The trucks need to be replaced every 15 years.
