(KAIR)--A firetruck, formerly owned and used by the City of Atchison's Fire Department, becomes a new purchase for area volunteer firefighters as a tool for battling county blazes.
According to a release from Lancaster Fire District #5, they were able to purchase the 2002 HME pumper truck following the recent sale of the district's 1985 pumper due to age and condition.
The release says the "new to the fire district" firetruck will soon be emblazoned with proper decals, and then used for "serving the community for years to come."
The purchase of the truck was possible, the release explains, because of continued community donations and support.
