• Lawsuit grows against fire truck manufacturers (wbay.com) — Arcadia has joined a growing federal lawsuit accusing major fire truck manufacturers of conspiring to limit supply and drive up prices, potentially costing cities more for essential equipment and longer delivery waits. The case, now including Liberty, Missouri and several other communities, focuses on alleged anticompetitive behavior by companies like Oshkosh Corp. and REV Group that may affect future costs for Arcadia’s fire fleet.
