The Florist Building is next to the newly remodeled Columbia-Adair County Fire Station on Merchant Street. Logistics were easy. And the firemen needed to block off a points points on Merchant Street, at Monroe, High, and Campbellsville, to set up the temporary campus. "We were given the opportunity to burn the building," Assistant Columbia Chief Charles Sparks said, "but that wouldn't have given us the chance to do nearly so many different training procedures." During the night, smoke which had been inserted under controlled circumstances billowied from the upper reaches of the building and lights, hoses and the spectator pleasing manipulations of extended ladder provided a realistic setting in which firemen were able to get familiar with more of the newest fire trucks awesome range of capabilities. The Adair County Florist Building is to be razed to make way for the new Adair Justice Center. The tall, two and one-half story building made an ideal site to practice with the department's Ladder 1 truck. Instead, Fireman from all over the county, including members of the Columbia-Adair County Fire Department, Breeding Fire Department, and on representative from Knifley Area Volunteer Fire Department were in Columbia for the exercise.

The $750,000 Ladder 1 truck was purchased primarily to improve the Columbia-Adair County firemen's ability to save lives in case of fire at Lindsey Wilson or on at one of downtown Columbia's multi-story buildings.

It became an official part of the local company's table of equipment when the firemen took delivery of it in Columbia on August, 26, 2005. This story was posted on 2006-10-19 13:24:05
