New Truck
Amissville’s volunteer fire department has recently received a 1952 three-quarter ton, four-wheel drive tactical vehicle from the Virginia Forest Service as part of a two-state program to aid local fire companies.
Carl James reports that refurbishing of the vehicle has been completed very economically. The firemen had to buy only paint, two tires, plumbing for the pump, radios and lettering for the new piece of equipment.
The on-board water tank was donated to Amissville by the Remington Volunteer Fire Company; the pump by Castleton’s volunteers. Sirens and lights were already “in stock” at Amissville, James noted.
Prior to delivery of the vehicle, Amissville had only one brush truck. The new truck is therefore an important addition, according to James.
Returning the favor, Amissville has donated its second line ambulance to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Services Council for use as a mobile classroom, command post or combination of both. The old ambulance, acquired by Amissville from Fairfax County in 1970, has served as a utility vehicle since the company's new ambulance was purchased in 1975.
