Greg Hudson is reporting in The Daily Mail the Greenville Fire Department received voter approval to purchase a new $650,000 tanker engine next year. The vote was held December 13 at the department's annual commissioner election. Of the approximately 1,000 eligible voters in the Greenville Fire District, only 28 cast a ballot, Chief Cliff Powell said. "It was an overwhelming vote to approve it, 20 people voted yes and 8 voted against it," Powell said. He said the new truck will replace a 40-year-old tanker taken out of surface after it ruptured. While district taxpayers will foot the bill for the vehicle, taxes will not increase, Powell said. The truck will be custom built for the Greenville department by South Dakota-based emergency vehicle manufacturer Rosenbauer, and delivered in 10 to 12 months. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
