Three new fire trucks on the way for DeRidder Fire Department – American Press
SUMMARY: DeRidder Fire Department will receive three new fire trucks by mid-September, as confirmed by Fire Chief Ken Harlow. These trucks will replace older models from 1989, 2001, and 2004, with the 2009 model becoming a reserve. The new vehicles are crucial due to rising upkeep costs and will feature advanced safety systems including 360-degree mirrors and HAAS Alert Safety Cloud. Final inspections will occur in early August, with delivery expected by September. Additionally, State Rep. Charles “Chuck” Owens announced a town hall on July 1 to discuss the 2024 legislative session, where about 800 bills were passed.

SUMMARY: The article, penned by Jim Beam, reflects on the 90-minute debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Voters are questioning if these are the only presidential options for 2024. Biden, criticized for his halting performance and age, attempted to counter Trump's false claims. CNN noted that Biden failed to allay voters' concerns, while Trump perpetuated election fraud myths and criticized Biden's presidency. NPR highlighted that the debate may not significantly influence the election outcome. Despite speculation, Biden affirmed his intention to continue campaigning. The article concludes that Biden and Trump remain the primary candidates for now.
