The Idanha-Detroit Fire District is getting a helping hand from a neighboring fire department. Dayton Fire is donating one of their engines to Detroit firefighters after a wildfire tore through Detroit earlier this month. The fire destroyed much of the town, including the fire department and one of their engines. Deputy Chief Damon Faust says the donation is just one of the many ways people have banded together to help the city. "The outpouring of support from community members, from Oregonians, from folks across the US and even Australia has sent some support, I believe, has been remarkable, absolutely remarkable," Faust said. "And this engine from Dayton Fire is an example of that togetherness that is still out there in 2020."
