After losing its only engine and all its equipment to a fire, the Pulaski Volunteer Fire Department is receiving help from surrounding departments, reports kfvs12.com.

The apparatus was burnt to the frame, and the department needs boots, gloves, and is in the process of receiving helmets from the Herrin and Hurst fire departments, the report says.

The Olmsted Fire Department also helped out with a couple sets of bunker gear and a few sets of boots—anything they could do to help, officials say.

Pulaski officials say the department has received calls from as far as St. Louis (MO) and Chicago.

Perryville will hold a ground-breaking ceremony July 7 for the fire department’s new station, which will be located on Rand Street.

Festivities will begin 9 a.m. with a rainout date of July 14 at the same time.
