A Youtuber has purchased a recently retired fire truck from Arcadia Volunteer Fire Department, reports The Morning Sun.

The YouTuber has a channel Watch JRGo in which he has over 290,000 subscribers and features videos of him fixing up old vehicles.

The truck, a 1977 Mack CF-600, served the department for over 20 years. They sold the truck for $3,000. Due to the price of the truck, Ross has pledged to give an additional $1,000 to the fire department for every 100,000 likes his video about the truck gets.

People in Arcadia have been rallying behind the pledge, sharing the video on Facebook and urging their friends and family to like and share.
