Huntington Fire Department personnel are working with Marshall University on logos for the new truck.  

The total cost of the new fire engine will be approximately $525,000 after outfitting it with the necessary equipment.

The Cherokee Board of Commissioners approved the donation to Seminole County of a 1991 Ford Heavy Duty Fire Truck. The vehicle was acquired from the Circle Five Volunteer Fire Department, is operational but no longer in service, and likely would bring $5,000 to $10,000 if sold at auction, staff said. Staff said the Cherokee Fire Department believes the truck is worth more to Seminole County “than the small monetary amount we would receive if it was sold at auction.”
