Sullivan (IN) Gets New Fire Apparatus

It cost $300,000 and the money came from the cumulative fire fund.

The Sullivan Fire Department now has three trucks and this new one is actually a pumper tanker, which means it can carry a lot more water.

"Usually we have just an engine tanker and it has 750 to 1,000 gallons of water. This is going to have 2,000 gallons of water," says Fire Chief Rob Robertson.

Bexar-Bulverde VFD (TX) Gets New Fire Equipment

Bob Wenzlau of Neighbors Abroad of Palo Alto, California, said a fire truck that appeared in video footage shot by an anti-corruption organization was not one of those donated.

But that city decided not to buy it after all so Maza was storing the vehicle and trying to sell it, Wenzlau explained.
