Reynoldsburg City Council unanimously approved a land sale for a fire station for West Licking Joint Fire District, reports This Week Community News.

The vacant land was gifted to the city in 2003 for future parkland. In addition to a new fire station, the WLJFD will install a pedestrian path.

The West Licking Fire District operates five stations serving 109 square miles encompassing the communities of Reynoldsburg, Pataskala and Kirkersville, as well as Etna, Harrison and Jersey townships.

The Spokane Valley Fire Department donated a fire truck to the city of Malden, reports KXLY.com.

Malden and neighboring town Pine City were destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire which included the fire station and fire engine.

Spokane provided a 1999 Pierce Engine. Last December, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources also donated a new fire engine.

The Fayetteville (AR) Fire Department’s (FFD) new tiller has departed the Pierce Manufacturing plant and is on its way to its new home.

Despite its long size, it’s designed for narrow streets and tight corners.

“This Tiller is the first of its kind for NWA, and the #FFD is proud to staff it!” FFD said on Instagram. “Once this truck arrives, members will go through extensive training on how to drive the front (and back) of this appratus!”
