Burton Fire Department's (MI) 1969 GMC Brush Appratus Up for Sale

Burton's fire department is auctioning off its 1969 GMC brush truck. While the truck has a lot of history in the community -- not only has it made decades of parade appearances, but it was built in Flint with the tank hand-built by firefighters and the lettering hand-done - the department now feels it is financially irresponsible of them to keep it, the report says.

The truck, which was purchased brand new for Burton Fire Station 2 to fight brush and grass fires was replaced with a new GMC with a larger tank that will be easier to maintain.

Ambulance Donated for EMS program at Northampton Community College

St. Luke's University Health Network recently donated an ambulance to the college for use in its EMS degree program and community training. The ambulance will be used by students to practice real-world scenarios similar to what they will be doing as an EMT or paramedic professional, said John T. Evans, EMS program manager, at the college.

The ambulance is the first the college program has owned. It is expected to be re-lettered with the college's name and stationed at the college's Fowler Center on Third Street in South Bethlehem.

Simulations may include placing a patient on a stretcher and into the ambulance, checking vital signs, administering medication and transporting the patient from an ambulance to the emergency room.

One Million to Replace Totaled Miami Valley (OH) Fire Apparatus

Insurance will cover most of the $1 million to replace a Miami Valley Fire District a ladder truck totaled in 2014 during a service call. The ladder truck was damaged while following a medic unit to a potential heroin overdose call in February 2014, according to MVFD Chief Matt Queen.

The fire district’s insurance company decided to total the vehicle -- a 2000 model -- due to the damage and age of unit, according to Queen. Documents show a new ladder truck will cost more than $1 million, about $640,000 of which will be through insurance, records show.
