Marion’s new fire truck was taken to the dept. headquarters on W. Union St on Saturday evening and the equipment has been installed by Chief James Swain and his assistants. The new truck is a Nash chassis and was sold by the Motor Sales Co. The equipment from the old truck was all available for use and is now mounted on the new one and in addition to the chemical extinguishers, ladders, hose, etc, there will be a thousand additional feet of new hose carried by this truck.
