Department completes new truck

       The first new truck under the new name of White River Township Volunteer Fire Department is now completed and in full, regular service.  The 1954 Dodge chassis that was in bad shape was purchased earlier this year at a cost of $201.50.  Members of the volunteer department built the body, made necessary repairs, and now boasts a 710 gallon water tank, 500 feet of 1 1/2 inch hose, and a 250 G.P.M. power take-off pump.  Altogether the truck has cost the department $3,850 with all the equipment added.  The truck makes the department's overall 2nd truck to go in service.  See a related story HERE.
