LODI, Calif. — The Lodi Fire Department celebrated its brand-new 2025 aerial truck with a push-in ceremony on Tuesday morning at Fire Station 1 on Elm Street.
The new vehicle is a 2025 Pierce Ascendant 107-foot Tiller powered by a 500-horsepower engine, measuring 60 feet, 9 inches in length and 11 feet, 2 inches in height. Designed for both power and agility, its extended ladder reach and enhanced maneuverability will allow firefighters to access tight city streets as well as tall commercial structures throughout Lodi, staff said.

Purchasing the $2 million truck was approved in 2022, and it arrived from Wisconsin last month.
“This state-of-the-art apparatus represents a major investment in the department’s ability to keep the community safe, allowing firefighters to respond to emergencies in both residential neighborhoods and larger commercial areas with greater reach, speed, and efficiency,” City of Lodi said.
