Last
Summer, the Spring Grove Fire Protection District replaced Tanker
1879 and Engine 1844 (Picture right) with a new Pumper/Tanker 1844.
Tanker 1879 was sold to the Village of
Spring Grove for public works to use to water parks and fields.
After reducing the asking price several
times for Engine 1844, an offer was made. Last Tuesday, the
Board of Trustees approved the sale of Engine 1844 to the Avant Fire
Department, Oklahoma.
Avant is a small community with a
population of 372 according to the 2000 Census. Their
volunteer fire department covers approximately XXX sq miles, much of
which is reservation. The department relys on fundraisers and
donations to operate. Their current fleet consists of trucks
that are designed for fighting brush fires, not structural fires.
Engine 1844 is the first piece of apparatus that this fire
department has purchased.
Also donated to the Avant Fire Department was several hundred feet
of 1-1/2" hose, fire extinguishers, nozzles, a hose reel, and
several other piece of equipment worth approximately $4,000.
