It’s better to give than receive—unless of course you’re the Southport (NC) Fire Department.

Last week, Southport’s Caswell Beach station dedicated its new 75-foot ladder truck, which was a gift from an anonymous donor, according to a report from StatePortPilot.com. The report noted that, with all its addition, the engine is worth about $450,000 and has only 6,000 miles of service on it.

The Caswell substation now has this larger ladder truck, two 1,000-gallon fire engines, a brush fire response truck, an air tank trailer, and at least two full-time firefighters are at the station around the clock, the report said.

White Bear Lake held a dedication ceremony for a fire truck, reports White Bear Press.

The new fire truck is equipped with a 107 ft. ladder, a 2000 gallon per minute pump and the latest technology. The ladder on the truck it is replacing had a reach of 75 ft.

The fire department posted to Facebook about the fire truck it will replace, “Today we said goodbye to the old Ladder 914 (Ladder 9). It was sold to the Wilburton, OK fire department. This truck will replace their 1973, manual 5 speed ladder they currently have in service. They are pretty excited for their upgrade!”

The Bradner Fire Department is renewing a push for a new fire station that will replace the current 55-year-old fire station, reports ABC 13 Action News.

The fire chief said the building has not had any major updates or renovations and is putting safety at risk. The building also only has one bathroom and is not ADA compliant.

The station is used to house rescue equipment for the volunteer department but in the past was also used to host community gatherings, weddings, and at one point, voting.

The fire department has a plot of land and designs, but has funding issues for the fire station which is estimated to cost $1.6 million. So far, the fire department has raised raised nearly $100,000.

The new space would have four bays and give firefighters more space to quickly exit the building. The current station also lacks a ventilation system that removes the exhaust. Right now, when the trucks are running, the diesel exhaust builds up on the walls and in the firefighter turnout gear.

Two Lexington fire stations are partially using solar power, reports WKYT.

The solar panels, costing about $30,000, were installed at Fire Station No. 7 and at Fire Station No. 15 as part of a larger city-wide renewable energy initiative.

Officials expect the projects to pay for themselves in cost savings by year 10 or 11.
