STATESVILLE, N.C. — The Statesville Fire Department has a new resource to help fight brush fires.
According to the Record and Landmark, crews converted an old squad truck into a brush truck.
Crews installed a 150-gallon tank in the bed with a gas engine and tools needed to fight brush fires and wildfires.
It costs $30,000 to convert the truck.
The department plans to start using it next month.
