STOYSTOWN, Pa. —
The last truck they bought new was in 1954.
After applying for grants, they received their wish. The Federal Emergency Management Agency gave them $237,000 toward a new truck.
The truck cost around $320,000, so to make up the difference they saved every penny from fundraisers and events over the years.
They also got a grant they applied for in 1997 for equipment.
Now the crew has a brand new truck, plus all of the suits, helmets and air packs to go with it.
Sunday they're holding a ceremony to recognize the new truck and everyone in the community is invited.
It starts at 3:30 p.m. at the fire station in Stoystown.
