Ring the Bell

Posted: Jul 7, 2017

Ring the Bell

FLORENCE, Wis. - After almost a century, Florence's antique fire truck was showing its age. The community realized "the truck needed some tender love and care" after it was brought out when Florence hosted the U.P. Firemen's Tournament for the first time in 2009, said Debbie DeMuri secretary/treasurer of the Florence County Historical Society.

It’s taken a few years, but the historical society, along with the Town of Florence and Florence Volunteer Fire Department, will show off the newly restored 1917-1918 fire truck at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Encore on Central in Florence.

The town acquired the Ford truck in 1917. But as it was replaced by more modern models, the 1917 truck went into storage.

North Shore Firefighter Dies in Crash on Way to Fire

MOUNT HERMON, La. -- A volunteer fire racing a water truck to a house fire was killed when the truck left the roadway and crashed Thursday. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. near the intersection of Mt. Pisgah Road and Burch Road.

According to the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office, volunteer firefighter Ronda Varnado, 54, was driving a fully-loaded water truck to the scene of a house fire when she was involved in a wreck. Officials said the truck tipped over, sliding several yards before hitting an embankment. That’s when officials said the water tank came loose and crashed into the track cab killing Vanardo.
