Priced around 292,000 dollars, this truck holds more of what is needed in the line of duty.  

Chief Haynes said the station was getting checked for a rating and actually went down a point due to the 20-year-old fire truck and decided to replace it.

One of the elements they look forward to using is the foam system which helps contain a fire quicker.

“Little bit more storage compartments than the old engine and the old engine too. This whole about 300 gallons more than one. The other one was around 700 and this one a thousand gallons,” said Fire Chief Johnnie Haynes.

Then earlier this week, another truck broke down, and the Beverly Fire Department sent one of its vehicles to replace it.  

Elkins Fire Chief Tom Meader said he's thankful for the support of the nearby departments.

"The fire service, wherever you go is a brotherhood.  You take the politics out of it, and I'm telling you, they step up.  But I really appreciate the city of Buckhannon and the city of Buckhannon Fire Department for loaning us this engine.  It's helping us a lot," Meader said.

Johnson said brand new aerial trucks are listed for nearly $1 million. He said they purchased this truck for just $50,000. Johnson said the crew had traveled all the way to New York looking for a truck.

He found out about it after an old friend called him from Yakima, telling him a station there had a truck for sale.
