It's a half-million-dollar question: Should the town of Campbell Fire Department get a new firetruck? On April 3, voters will decide if a pumper truck that is more than three decades old should be replaced with a new one. "The tank is rusted. The truck leaks. We've had to pry open compartments to get to tools on calls," said Fire Chief Nate Melby of the Campbell Fire Department. The national standard for a fire engine is 20 years, but Melby said they've gone the extra mile to keep it in tiptop shape. "It's served a good life for us, but it's just worn out at this point," Melby said.
