OK FLL, you have got to give the governmental officials in Laconia credit for figuring out how to use their brand new Fire Truck.
Below is what the
Laconia Daily Sun said about their ingenuity:
"In recent years, it has been impossible to string the lights much more than two-thirds of the way up the tree. That problem was solved by the Laconia Fire Department’s new ladder truck. With its 100-foot vertical and 93-foot horizontal reaches, it was possible to string the festive white lights from the very top of the 85-foot ever-green. Quite incidentally, the exact height of the tree was determined using the GPS device in the bucket of Ladder 1."
