The Deerfield Fire Department received $3,000 in grant funding from the Missouri Department of Conservation this week to help offset the cost of a custom fire truck body.


The department has spent more than a year building the combination engine and tanker on a military surplus Freightliner chassis acquired through the Department of Conservation.


Kris Sisseck said department members mounted the pump and 2,500-gallon tank but lacked the equipment necessary to build the tool boxes so they turned to Brunner Fabrication in Joplin.


The department spent $16,000 to have a custom body built for the truck which will serve both as a tanker to haul water to a fire as well as a backup engine to supplement the department’s first out 1989 Sutphen engine.
