Mahopac and West Nyack send fire truck to Ecuador
(Mahopac, New York-AP) -- A 30-year-old fire truck from West
Nyack is being sent to Ecuador - via Putnam County. The Lake
Mahopac Rotary has been looking for used fire fighting equipment
for Ecuador since New York City Fire Captain Dan Sheridan visited
the South American country last year. Sheridan - who lives in
Mahopac - asked the local rotary to help find fire fighting
equipment.
The West Nyack Fire department in Rockland county was giving up
it's 30 year old bucket truck. So the Mahopac Rotary bought it for
12-hundred dollars and refurbished it.
The truck was being sent later this month to the fire department
in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Sheridan says the Hillcrest Fire Department - also in Rockland -
donated an old fire truck to another community in Ecuador last
year.
