Abbeville recently received two new trucks, and knowing there was a need in St. Landry Parish, offered the trucks below their appraised value to accommodate the village's budget.

"The bigger cities that have the tax base can afford a few more things than the villages and the small towns and without that handout, we wouldn't be able to do the things that we do as a small village," said Cankton Mayor Kevin Colligan.

The two firefighters were transported to the hospital by Medic with non life threatening injuries.

A third firefighter was sent to a hospital to also be checked out, although no third injury was reported.
