Bailey said the department can't find replacement parts for the 1966 pumper, which firefighters use to feed water hydrants in downtown Nisswa through charging/pumping water from Nisswa Lake.

The council agreed to buy the fire truck from Custom Fire with a seven-year payment option.

In April, firefighters had 11 emergency medical services calls, five fire alarms, three grass fires and one mutual aid structure fire in Mission Township for a total of 20 calls.

The fire department has two new Pierce Quantum Type 1 Pumpers. The fire trucks are capable of pumping 1500 gallons of water per minute.

The new trucks are expected to last more than 20 years.

Crews at the station found heavy smoke inside the front bay at about 1:02 p.m, Assistant Chief Sharon Davis said. They were able to start the truck and pull it outside away from the other equipment.

Davis said crews, including Cahokia Fire Department, worked for about 15 minutes to put out the fire at 3201 Camp Jackson Road.
