SIDNEY - The Sidney-Jackson Volunteer Fire Department will be able to buy a new fire truck next year after receiving a grant from the state.

According to Rep. Bill Ruppel, R-North Manchester, the township is slated to receive $125,000 for a pumper tanker truck.

"This pumper truck will be a wonderful benefit to this community," Ruppel said. "I have served as a volunteer firefighter, and I know how important it is for the state to provide help in funding projects such as this."

Ruppel also acknowledged the efforts of Jackson Township Trustee Donald Slater in securing the grants for the fire truck.

"Without the help of Don Slater, acquiring the funding for this project would not have been possible," Ruppel said. "It has been my pleasure to work together with him to assure the safety of the Sidney community." [[In-content Ad]]
