The Cleveland (OH) firefighters union is raising concerns after an apparatus caught fire inside the bay at Station 10 on East 101st Street Monday evening, reports cleveland19.com.

An International Association of Firefighters, Local 93, official raised red flags Tuesday after the incident, the report says. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the official reveals that the truck was a backup only being used because the main apparatus was undergoing repairs.

Officials believe the fire—which was quickly extinguished and contained to just the apparatus—was caused by an electrical issue. No injuries were reported.

A 1954 fire truck with a Darley pump that was used by the Chippewa Falls (WI) Fire Department until its 1987 trade-in is returning to the city, reports chippewa.com.

After finding it sitting in a field, area firefighters purchased the truck for $1,500 in 2010 and have since been restoring it. The report says the apparatus has been stored in numerous places over the past decade.

Once fully restored, the apparatus will be on public display at the new Chippewa Area History Center, which is under construction but slated to open next spring, the report says.

The truck—24 feet long and eight feet tall and wide—was constructed by Four Wheel Drive Auto Company. The engine, the original, was built in Waukesha, according to the report. It’s a fully functional truck, except that it doesn’t pump water, officials say.

It’s currently at Legacy Painting & Sideblasting in Galesville getting a new paint job, and officials expect to take delivery of it later this month. Then, finishing touches such as lights and bumpers will be added.

The cities of Marion (SC) and Mullins were selected to receive $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding, reports scnow.com, which will be used toward the purchase of a new apparatus for each department.

Officials say the new apparatus will help maintain an ISO Class 3 rating. The Marion Fire Department last unveiled a new apparatus back in December 2018.

Mullins officials say they have purchased two new trucks that should arrive in March 2022—a commercial pumper tanker and custom rescue pumper, along with a refurbished tanker.

The Mullins Fire Department added its first aerial in March 2019, the report says.
