Six months ago, the Plainfield Fire Department was contemplating getting rid of a mid-1990s-era rescue truck – one of three vehicles fire Chief Travis Irons determined wasn’t meeting the district’s needs anymore.  

“Between the cost of upkeep and inspections, we just didn’t need them anymore,” he said. “Right about that time, there was a shooting incident in town that brought in several different agencies and I thought wouldn’t it be great to have a centralized command post?”

After talking with police leaders, fire officials approved donating the rescue truck to the police department with the understanding they could use it for community events or large-scale emergencies.

No word if anyone has been injured, but police scanner traffic indicates the fire may have caused or be connected to a grass fire.

This fire could be threatening some mobile homes with large gas tanks, according to the scanner traffic.
