Doddridge Fire Department has a new much-needed tanker truck thanks to the Arkansas Forestry Commission's Forest Resource Protection Division. The 2009 Freightliner was a military truck that the Department of Defense donated to the Forest Service as part of a grant program.
The Forestry Service gave the truck to the Doddridge Fire Department, and firefighters have been working for a while to convert it to a tanker truck.
We stripped it down to the frame and started over with it. We rigged a spray system for it, put lights on it, and painted it red. It was military green," said Doddridge Fire Chief Lonnie Hazel.
"Our other tanker is getting out of date. We are needing to take it out of service soon," Hazel said. "This is a good addition to our station."
