Greenfield (IN) Fire Apparatus to Serve Industrial Areas

Buck Creek firefighters are hitting the road with a new truck equipped to fight blazes in tall industrial businesses moving to the county's west side, thanks to a partnership between the department and the county's redevelopment commission.

Buck Creek Township leaders and members of the Hancock County Redevelopment Commission recently split the cost of a $250,000 new aerial ladder truck — a fire engine featuring a more than 100-foot ladder that can extend over the tops of tall buildings — that will be used to service the whole township, particularly the businesses located along the Mt. Comfort corridor.

Township officials approached the redevelopment commission for help, and the board eventually agreed to contribute $100,000 to the truck’s $250,000 cost, noting that a well-equipped fire service is part of what the county can offer industries considering Hancock County.
