Greenough Potomac Volunteer Fire Garnering Support to Replace Aging Fire Truck

Greenough Potomac Volunteer Fire Garnering Support to Replace Aging Fire Truck

POTOMAC - It's much-loved but even more worn after a quarter of a century. The quick response unit pickup for the Greenough Potomac Volunteer Fire Department is, if not on its last wheels, at least creaking at the U-joints.

“It’s a 1991 (model) with 140,000 or 150,000 miles on it, and we’re starting to see quite a few mechanical breakdowns,” Fire Chief Ryan Hall said.

One of the last straws came a couple of summers ago when the three-quarter-ton Chevy fire truck had to be towed to Missoula for repair.

“There’s nothing more embarrassing than having a fire department rig on a tow truck going through town,” said Hall.
