One option, a 1998 4800 International dual-purpose wildland pumper, is the fire department’s proposed pick. It costs $30,000 and has 44,400 miles.

Stuckey said one old truck, the 1986 model Pumper 114, no longer works like it used to. Staff from Riley County Fire Department No. 1 and public works maintenance have decided it is not worth repairing.
