Body A lease-purchase agreement for acquisition of a new “crash truck” for Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport was approved by the Lawton City Council. The city intends to buy a new Airport Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) truck – an Oshkosh Striker-3000 6x6 roof turret – from Siddons-Martin Emergency Group of Houston, Texas.

The total estimated lease payment will be $1,952,098, which includes the $1,729,803 sticker price for the truck and an estimated $222,295 in interest during the five-year period. The expense will be paid from capital improvement sales tax dollars, city records indicate.
