(KNZA)--The Sabetha Fire Department took delivery Tuesday of a new rescue truck.

According to a social media post, the truck was bought at auction exclusively using funds donated from the community--including their Greater Sabetha Community Foundation account.

The truck will replace a re-purposed ambulance the Department has been using for years and is no longer suitable for that purpose.

The release says the new unit has much more storage space and they will be able to accommodate all of their equipment on one truck.

Over the last decade, the Department has significantly increased their rescue capabilities to include water and ice rescue, grain bin entrapment and additional auto rescue equipment.

The Department is working to get radio equipment installed in the new truck and lettering has been ordered to put the Sabetha Fire Department name on the truck.

"We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has donated to our department for this and other projects over the years. So much of our expansion in capabilities has been made possible through our generous community."
