Last week, Engine 73 made its last run from station 7. Once off of the front apron, it began its journey via tractor trailer to the state of Texas where it will continue to provide fire suppression with Steele Creek Acres Volunteer Fire Department.
The Pierce Lance pumper tanker was purchased new by the department in 1991. Throughout the past 28 years, it served Lineboro and surrounding communities by responding on emergency calls, providing stand-by crews, and participating in training and local events. After long term discussions and planning, it was decided by the department to relieve the engine of it's duties. As a result, NO citizens will lose fire protection or service.
We wish Steel Creek Acres the best with their newest purchase! |
