Resident Student Safety at Lindsey Wilson College's High Rise Residence Halls, was a primary reason for the purchase of the Columbia/Adair County Fire Department's Ladder One, when then Mayor Patrick R. Bell and the Columbia City Council accepted the bid of Sutphen Corporation for the area's first aerial ladder truck at a Special Called City Council Meeting, which began at 3:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 23, 2004, in City Hall (Story: 'A Great Day for Columbia,' Mayor Bell says as aerial ladder truck ok'ed). Use of the truck at Lindsey Wilson, top of photo, has never been necessary, so far, but if it ever were, and it saved just one life, the $747,605 cost would be more than worth it, untold multiple times over.
