The Jane Lew Fire Department has been busy restoring its original engine—a 1946 Mack truck—and the fruits of the department’s labor have come to fruition.

The pumper was in use for a bit over 30 years. Now it has made its way back home.

“76-year difference, but the exact same commitment,” a Facebook post reads.

The apparatus was sold to Baxter Volunteer Fire Department in 1967, then used for a political campaign in the late ‘80s, and finally settled in VA in the ‘90s, according to a report in wvnews.com.

It was still pumping water around the turn of the century, and it was showcased in parades and shows, the report says.

Two ambulances collided head-on Monday at 10:30 p.m. on Union Street near Seventh Avenue in Brooklyn, reports FOX.

Police said the ambulances were responding to a report of an intoxicated man near the Barclays Center.

One ambulance struck a utility pole and an ATM vestibule. Four EMS workers were treated for minor injuries.

The Beech Grove Volunteer Fire Department recently received a land donation for a new station as well as a $10,000 donation.

“BGVFD Chaplin Wayne Barber has remarked many times about how blessed our volunteer fire department is. When a need is defined, a solution seems to soon follow……” a Facebook post reads.

“Well, that happened again this morning.

“As we recently announced, BGVFD has acquired the land at the intersection of FM 2799 and CR 099 to build a fire station that will serve our response area, specifically the Dixie/Bevilport Communities, land donated by the Martin Dies family. We’ve cleared the land and have begun fundraising efforts.

“Today BGVFD President Jimmy Hensarling, Vice-President Chris Lanier, and Fire Chief James Gunter met with William Seale and accepted a $10,000 donation on behalf of the Seale family, Bevilport Limited Partnership, and Lucinda Smith Seale!

“The Seale family has been deeply rooted in the Bevilport Community since 1845, owning what many of you know as Ant Hill Farm, now known as Pine Hall, which is located on CR 101.

“What a great way to kick off our fundraising efforts. Every donation counts, no matter how big or small.

“Thank you to the Seale family, and everyone who has donated to date.”

The Greeley Fire Department recently took delivery of Tender 7, a four-wheel drive, 2,000-gallon Type 1 tactical water apparatus.

The department says it will be used to shuttle water into the areas without hydrants. Also, it can be deployed on wildland fires.

It will soon be placed in service.

GFD received a 4WD 2000 gallon Type 1 Tactical Water Tender. It will be used to shuttle water in the areas we serve without fire hydrants. It can be deployed on wildland fires. It will be placed in service at Fire Station and will be identified as Tender 7. pic.twitter.com/V9QIc59vcw
