MOORE - A 1970 Chevrolet fire truck originally purchased for the Moore Fire Department is back home. The truck's last owner was the Vanoss Fire Department, which donated it to Moore. During its Feb. 6 meeting, the Moore City Council approved a proposal by Ward 2 Councilman Mark Hamm to accept the truck.
Silver Star Construction Co. sent a tractor-trailer to Vanoss, which is between Stratford and Ada, to bring the fire truck back to Moore. Steven Shawn, Silver Star president, said his company volunteered to get the truck and has been restoring it. He said his workers tuned up the motor, replaced the brakes and had the front end aligned. He said the company wanted "to make it safe to drive."
