The Waynesboro Volunteer Fire Department signed a contract to purchase a new aerial truck earlier this week.

The fire department has been in the planning stages for more than a year, forming a capital replacement committee to review proposals and pricing from multiple manufacturers.

Second-Grader with Longtime Medical Issues Gets Ride Home from School in Firetruck

Joey Carlson had a huge surprise waiting for him when he got out of school Thursday afternoon. The 8-year-old Central Heights Elementary second-grader walked out the door with his classmates and his eyes widened when he saw a fire truck parked at the curb. "You want to go for a ride?"

"The treat was arranged for the boy who has dealt with longtime medical problems that have left him wearing a tracheal tube and required frequent trips to Children’s Hospital Colorado.

"His mom, Jen Carlson, and grandmother, Kathy Carlson, both took photos as Joey walked up to the big rig, the other second-graders and their teachers looking on. Joey climbed into the rig, with a hand from Ben Adelman, fire chief for the Billings refinery."
