Folks in Andover say they know what it's like not to have the money for the fire equipment the city needs. They got some help then and now they're paying it forward, all the way up the turnpike to Cassoday.

"That was shocking, I guess, yes. That was really neat, yeah, that they would do that," said Carl Grunder, a former Cassoday volunteer firefighter.

It's the talk of the town in little Cassoday, Kansas, a big deal for the fire department at a small price.

"It was unanimously passed to sell the fire truck for $1," said Andover City Councilman Clark Nelson, the city's liaison to its fire department.

A pumper truck that Cassoday had saved up $4,000 to buy will now cost just $1. The truck is decades old, but better than anything Cassoday has.

"It's going to replace our very outdated engine that we've been having nothing but problems with," said Ben Griffith, the chief at Butler County Fire District #4 in Cassoday.

"It's in great shape,"said Nelson about the pumper truck. "We've left a lot of equipment on there for them."

According to authorities, two men broke into the Leach fire station in the early morning hours and stole a fire truck. Not long after, that truck was purportedly used to break into an Oaks fire station, where a second truck was taken.

Surveillance footage from the Leach station showed the two suspects getting in, where it took them less than two minutes to get away in the first fire truck.

Cherokee County Sheriff's Investigator James Brown said two suspects were identified after the thefts. As authorities were en route to one suspect's home, a pilot with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol spotted Taylor leaving in a car similar to a one identified during the investigation.

Troopers stopped Taylor and he was ultimately arrested for outstanding warrants.

According to Brown, deputies arrived to transport Taylor to jail, which happened to take place in the presence of a TV news crew.

"The building is over 50 years old," Landin said. "Some of the materials that were used back there did have asbestos type of stuff. There was a lot of walls that were removed, and a lot of tile. Even cabinetry that had some mold in asbestos in it. We're moving forward, and we're remediating it, and we hope to have it open soon."

The pedestrian, an 89-year-old man, was walking on the southbound side of the parkway near 109th Ave in Queens Village at about 8:20 p.m., when the ambulance struck him, sources said.

Medics took him to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, but he couldn't be saved, officials said.

The driver of the ambulance went to Long Island Jewish Medical Center with minor injuries.
