MIFD Gets New Fire Truck
Delaware County Commissioners have approved purchase of a new fire truck for the Monkey Island Fire Department but it will be several months before the truck will be ready for duty.
The department has purchased a Ford F550 flat bed Heavy Duty Troop Cab truck from Mid States Ford, a Ford dealer near Des Moines, IA which they found on the Internet and have taken it to EVAC, a "monster garage" builder of fire trucks in Baxter Springs, KS.
Here, the plant will add the full package, which will include a full diesel pump engine, a 400 gallon water tank, hydrant hookup equipment, and equipment which will enable it to serve as a multi--purpose rescue unit, complete with medical, foam and water service.
The truck will carry six people and with the added capacity for foam, is especially suited for car fires. The truck cost $35,000 and with all of the added equipment will come to just over $73,000.
MIFD also has a 2,000 gallon tanker truck and a 1,000 gallon pumper truck.
