The Monroe Fire Department announced the donation of two fire engines to two fire departments in Northeast Louisiana, reports myarklamiss.com.

The custom-built 1999 pumper trucks will be donated to the Beekman Volunteer Fire Department and the Winnsboro Fire Department.

The Monroe Fire Department purchased these engines over 22 years ago from Ferrara Fire Apparatus.

Fire danger and rising insurance premiums are influencing homeowners to build a new fire station in Taylor Canyon, reports Gunnison County Times.

The building would be a substation of the Gunnison Fire Protection District (GFPD). The station would be a short distance away from the Jacks’ Cabin.

Town planners approved conceptual plans for the new proposed fire station, reports The Valley Breeze.

The proposed two-story building will feature a three-bay station. Two of the three bays will be pull-through, while the third will be back-in with space for utilities in the back.

Designs include 27 parking spaces, four fewer than the required 31 spaces, and the project will need a variance for spots. The parking lot will need special permission due to not being in the rear of the building.
