VIDEO: The Boise Fire Department made a big donation to the Firth Fire Station after they recently lost their building and both engines in a fire.
Now, they have one engine already replaced, thanks to an auction and good timing. The fire department in firth lost everything in a fire on January 10.
In a matter of days, help came pouring in from all around Idaho. It started with a surplus fire engine that was about to go to auction.
"It just so happened that we had a surplus engine that in a week or two was going to auction,” explains Boise Fire Chief Mark Niemeyer, “I immediately got a hold of our Mayors Office, our Chief of Staff, talked to city leadership. I just said we can help this community, are you in? And we have a great community they’re very supportive and they said absolutely.
