Second Life for Rural Fire Trucks | Roanoke News
Description
When Stickleyville’s volunteer fire department’s old tanker broke down, they faced a crisis—no money for a new one, and no way to fight fires in their hilly terrain. Enter Virginia’s Fire Chiefs Association donation program, connecting surplus equipment with rural departments strapped for cash. Already helping 14 departments with everything from ambulances to engines, this lifeline keeps communities safe when budgets are tight—though the bigger issue? State funding hasn’t grown since 1995.
