LATROBE, Pa. — A Latrobe-based bank that repossessed a 1981 West Newton fire truck in August has sued the fire department for more than $27,000 because the truck sold at auction for about $25,000 less than the fire company owed on it.
Commercial Bank & Trust of PA sued the West Newton Volunteer Fire Company Inc. in Westmoreland County Court this week for $27,480, which includes $2,500 in attorney fees, according to the lawsuit.
The bank wants the fire company to pay interest on the $24,980 balance owed on the 100-foot ladder truck, plus an undetermined amount of court costs.
