In 2019 the voters of the village of Cecil and Crane Township took to the polls to voice their approval of a new tax levy that allowed the fire department in the village of Cecil to purchase a new fire truck. It’s now 2022 and the truck has been delivered and fully operational!
Fire Chief Bob Herber made note of the new auto pumping features with a Husky control panel, (and lots of shiny gauges and connections!) of the truck saying how this truck had already been on several runs since the delivery back in May. The truck has slide outs with all of the power tools for helping to fight fires in the community.
Tim Copsey, Paulding County Economic Development Director stated, “Paulding County voters (of Crane Township and Cecil Village) continue to support efforts that keep us #pauldingcountystrong”
The new Pierce Firetruck, at a cost of $423,000, was received on May 13, 2022 with a new Freightliner truck chassis. The truck was built in Bradenton, FL and customized for the fire department and their equipment they use on site. This truck has a capacity of 1000 gallons of water and a pump capability of up to 1250 gallons per minute. This firefighting vehicle, equipped with thermal imaging, will be used for every scene except for grassfires.
