The old fire station was once plagued with mold and mildew.

The project cost more than $670,000.

Cohanzie Fire Chief Todd Branche said Monday a town-employed firefighter working a shift at the Cohanzie department on Dayton Road had taken the truck out to refill its fuel tank at about 8:15 p.m.. A police report identified Mark Parker, 49, as the driver.

Parker backed the truck into a brick column between two of the building’s bays, damaging the bucket on the back of the truck, Branche said.

According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, 21-year-old Kristin Daley, of Live Oak, was driving an ambulance that was headed west on U.S. Highway 90 at 3:30 p.m. as it neared a 2008 Chevrolet Uplander.

The Uplander, which was driven by 48-year-old Jerry Gates, also of Live Oak, was stopped in the westbound lane waiting to turn into a private lane, the report states.

According to the report, Daley failed to observe the van stopped in traffic and rear-ended the Uplander.

The Windsor Volunteer Fire Department now has a custom built Bulldog 4X4 Brush Truck that is strictly for brush fires in the area, said Fire Chief Ricky Mundy.

"Here in Windsor, 80 percent of our fires are brush fires," Mundy said. "We got this new truck to increase our firefighter capabilities."

The truck was built by off-road experts with Howe & Howe Technologies Inc. for extreme situations and absolute reliability, according to the businesses website.
