Petersburg is wrestling with a shortage of fire apparatus as the department deals with trucks in need of repairs and inspections.
The department, which maintains a fleet of seven trucks, has had trouble keeping them in service as trucks go down and must await parts that are delayed before repairs can be made.
CBS 6 reported that over the last several weeks the department has had to juggle borrowed apparatus to maintain their fleet levels and, on Friday, had only one truck in service to respond to calls for several hours.
