ALPHA, N.J. — Alpha volunteer firefighters packed tonight’s borough council meeting to advocate for money to purchase a new firetruck.
Jessica Hanics, a volunteer firefighter from the borough, spoke on behalf of about 25 other firefighters who attended the meeting.
“You may look at another truck as excess, but we look at it as necessity. We have tried for years to get grant funding knowing that this day was coming,” Hanics said. “To you it’s a third truck in a small town, but ... each truck has a specific purpose and job, just as we do.”
