Iowa volunteer fire dept to get new pumper

Dickeyville board approved funding a new apparatus to replace a 24-year-old unit

DUBUQUE, Iowa — The Dickeyville-Paris Fire Department will be getting a new fire truck.

A resolution to purchase the truck was approved last month by the Dickeyville Village Board. The fire department has paid $100,000 up front for the new pumper truck, which will cost $315,000.

The village and Parish Township will more than likely get a loan to pay the remainder of the cost, which will be split 50-50.

The new truck will replace a 24-year-old truck, which will be used as a backup. It is hoped the new truck will be delivered by February.
