The truck was used in Williamsport’s Station No. 4, then at the foot of Railway Street, from 1929 until an unknown year when it was sent to Station No. 5 in Newberry, said Ed Frey, of Warrensville, who brought the truck back from Missouri in 1992.

 

Eventually, the truck went to someone from the lower part of the state. From there it went to Connecticut, then Massachusettes, then Missouri, Frey recalled.

Finally, the owner in Missouri tried to send the truck home.

The station will be staffed by five personnel with living quarters above the bay for those individuals. The crews will staff the station 24/7. Charleston Fire Chief Rob Sutler says the fire station is position to protect a large number of homes and lives.

“While we still had a crew dedicated for it, they were over on Lee Street,” Sutler recalled. “If it hadn’t been for the South Charleston Fire Department working with us to help protect the area, we couldn’t have had the level of protection we had while rebuilding the station.”

The new station will also feature an ambulance and EMT service, which hasn’t been there since 2004 when the building was judged structurally deficient in the ambulance bay.

A 15-year-old former junior firefighter allegedly broke into a Strinestown (PA) fire station, put on firefighting gear, and stole a $750,000 fire truck and took it for a joy ride, according to recent reports.
