The two new trucks replace two old ones. Those trucks will be serviced and then shipped to third world countries for firefighter use for those that wouldn’t be able to afford the equipment.

Firefighters at the scene administered first aid to the driver, Codey Bower, before he was taken to Port Huron McLaren hospital for treatment.

The rescue truck, which had emergency lights on, was not occupied at the time of the crash.

Canton City Council approved the mediated settlement on first reading Monday night; for payments to take effect, the agreement must be finalized by Stark County Probate Court.

In July 2007, Dale and Grace Burlingame had just celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary, when Dale turned their van onto Cleveland Avenue NW from 18th Street and it was struck by a firetruck. The firefighter who drove the truck said in a deposition and during the case that he thought the traffic light was green, according to the city law department. The truck's siren wasn't working but the driver used the air-horn to alert motorists and the emergency lights were activated, according to the city.

Grace and her husband's estate sued the city in 2009.
