(KNZA)--A Brown County volunteer fire department has added a new truck to its fleet.

The Everest/Washington Township Fire Department, in a social media post, said they were presented with an opportunity to improve their resources at a minimum cost, and the department's members put up their own money to purchase the 1994 International truck.

The truck, which was formerly used by the Dodge City Fire Department, was purchased from Wabaunsee County Fire District #6 in Alma.

The release says the truck is 12 years newer than the truck it will replace.

Its a dual-purpose truck, combining the capabilities of a pumper and a ladder truck.

It has a 1,250 gallon per minute pump, 300 gallon booster tank and 75-foot mounted aerial device.
