Morehead (KY) Fire to Replace 34-Year-Old Fire Apparatus

Morehead (KY) Fire to Replace 34-Year-Old Fire Apparatus

The Morehead Fire Department has officially been approved to replace their ladder truck that has serviced Morehead and Rowan County for the last 34 years. Morehead City Council voted unanimously last Monday during its monthly meeting for MFD Chief Jeff Anderson to begin the paperwork to buy the $1.1 million engine from Sutphen Corporation of Dublin, Ohio.

"When we talk about our role as government leaders, safety is always the main priority. This new engine will help provide our businesses and citizens with just that," said Mayor Jim Tom Trent. "The use of this new engine and all its features and updated technology, along with the hard work and dedication of our fire department, will go a long way in helping preserve the safety and property of the community."

The Time a Chicago Dad Came Home With a Fire Apparatus

We didn't entirely believe our dad when he told us he was purchasing an old fire truck. Although he had a fondness for antique cars and motorcycles, my brother and I weren't sure whether to believe he had gone off to add a 1939 Mack fire engine to his revolving collection.

My brother and I spotted it: a 1939 Mack fire engine, faded red, rounded fenders, slowly rolling up 100th Street. Dad was at the wheel, announcing his homecoming by stepping on the siren button just to the right of the gas pedal.
