Volunteer and career station personnel could still work out of the building during the day, but the Frederick County Division of Fire and Rescue Service paid for a trailer at the station. It was to house career firefighters working during overnight hours, when the bunkhouse ordinarily would be used.

The trailer cost approximately $800 a week and was put at the station Feb. 7, making the total cost for the trailer approximately $3,200 over the last month, Jewell said.

In addition to the trailer, the fire company was footing the bill for remediation services, which were estimated to cost about $7,500, in addition to the repairs and renovations already planned for the bunkhouse, Jewell said.

The 1998 E-One is being housed at the department's central station and replaces the oldest unit, a 1985 Chevrolet. Rink said a similar, new truck could cost $200,000 or more.

According to a news release, the truck was purchased with fewer than 12,000 miles and includes all LED lights, a power take-off generator, 12-foot canopies on both sides and a refrigerator.

According to a Scotia Volunteer Fire Department press release, the Rosenbauer 2017 RTX Type 1 engine features a wireless controlled deck water gun on top of the engine that allows remote control of where the gun is pointing and how much water is flowing out.

They evaluated a patient and were about to leave the scene when the engine was hit by another car driving by at a high speed. The fire engine was parked partially blocking the left lane of westbound SR 14 with emergency lights activated.
