Not even thousands of miles of distance can break the firefighters’ bond.

The Coram-West Glazier (MT) Volunteer Fire Department needed a pumper with fire season approaching, so the Blue Ridge Mountain (WV) Volunteer Fire Department decided to step up, reports localdvm.com.

As Blue Ridge Mountain was about to orphan one of its older trucks, department member David Tabb heard about Coram-West Glazier predicament and chose to help. He arranged—out of his own pocket—to foster the pumper west.
