After losing their only fire engine and all its equipment to a fire, local fire departments are lending a helping hand to the Pulaski Illinois Volunteer Fire Department.
“It basically burnt it down to just the frame,” said Pulaski Fire Chief Bryan Cravens.
Pulaski Fire Chief Bryan Cravens is talking about the fire that destroyed this fire truck and equipment.
“It’s rather unnerving I mean we do have this tank her that’s behind me that kind also pump, and it can fight a fire too,” Cravens said. Cravens tells me they lost a lot of their equipment in the fire.
“Right now, we need boots, gloves, I’m supposed to pick up helmets tonight from Herrin Fire Department and I have some that are coming from Hurst Fire Department,” said Cravens.
Surrounding fire departments including Olmstead rushed to lend a helping hand in a time of need.
