After being without its main engine for the better part of a year and a half, the Claysburg Volunteer Fire Company has taken delivery of a new $400,000 engine.

The new Spartan truck replaced the loaner from the Alum Bank Volunteer Fire Company in Bedford County.

The community stepped up to help pay for the apparatus, which is officially in service.

The City of Hudson Fire Department recently held an open house and wet-down ceremony for Truck 32, its new tower ladder, which was placed in service last September.

The 2021 E-ONE Typhoon, which was featured at FDIC 2021, boasts a 100-foot reach. Its predecessor was moved to reserve status. A report in hudsonvalley360.com says that it cost $1.3 million.

After it was placed in service it immediately saw plenty of action:

In what unfortunately seems to be a recurring theme lately, an East Orange fire truck was involved in a collision with a dump truck and a car Tuesday morning.

The crash took place around 11:45 a.m. at Halsted and Main streets. Five people, including three firefighters, suffered minor injuries.

The crash left the fire truck up against a store on Main Street, which also suffered minor damage, WABC reports.

The fire truck was reporting to a fire call and vehicles were pulling aside to let it pass when one driver apparently did notice the truck coming and pulled into traffic, prompting the crash, according to preliminary reports.
