City Dedicates New Fully Equipped Fire Engine

The city of Athens' new Engine No. 1 may be the safest firetruck on the road after being prayed over twice during a dedication ceremony Thursday. Pastor Dusty McLemore of Lindsay Lane Baptist Church and Antoyne Green of New Life Church both asked God to watch over and protect the members of Athens Fire & Rescue Service who will drive and ride in the truck.

The new $517,000 truck, purchased from Sunbelt Fire in Fairhope, will be housed at Fire Station No. 1 on Washington Street. It replaces a 1987 model that does not have many required safety features.
