Idaho State Police Investigating Fire Apparatus Crash

Posted: Aug 22, 2017

Idaho State Police Investigating Fire Apparatus Crash

Idaho State Police is investigating a crash on Interstate 84 near milepost 191 in Jerome County. Police say a U.S. Forest Service firetruck rolled over and is on its top, but that no injuries have been reported.

The Idaho Transportation Department diverted westbound traffic off of exit 194, east of the crash location, while crews worked to recover the crashed vehicle.

Princeton (IL) Fire Department Gets Approval to Sell Fire Apparatus

The city of Princeton soon will have a used fire truck for sale after the council approved an ordinance for the sale. The truck, a 1986 Pierce Lance fire engine, will be put up for sale for $10,000. A new truck, approved a year ago, will soon be in service for the department.

Ray Mabry, who gave the lone dissenting vote against the sale, offered his opinion that the truck should first be offered to mutual aid partners as a courtesy. Mabry said he knows of the excellent condition the truck has been kept in and thought it should not go to a wholesale auction before community partners had a shot at it.

Goldens Bridge (NY) Firefighters Moving Back to Firehouse

It was a long awaited homecoming for the Golden's Bridge Fire Department. Firefighters moved back into their firehouse Sunday after being displaced since Feb. 2014 when a fire severely damaged headquarters. Voters approved a $2.7 million bond in 2016 to help repair the house.

On Sunday, firefighters spent the day moving equipment, turnout gear, and fire apparatus over to the new building, according to the fire department.

Over the next month, firefighters will continue putting the finishing touches on the building as they continue to get back to a normal pre-fire operation, according to the fire department.

Cape Fear Community College (NC) Get Donated Fire Apparatus

Students who take part in Cape Fear Community College's fire training course will have a new apparatus to practice with. The Castle Hayne Fire Department donated a fully equipped 1989 Suburban Pumper fire truck to the college.

This fire pumper will be used for hands-on training that involves proper procedures for riding and working around fire apparatus, to include advancing hose lines, ground ladder work, driver training, pump operator training, and service testing of fire apparatus.
