Long Creek gets new engine
Newport plans to buy at least one new fire engine and possibly two in the new city budget at a cost of $340,000 each. As a result the city on Monday donated one of it's current engines to the Long Creek Volunteer Fire Department. It's the first time the city has donated a fire engine. The donated one has not been used since 2006 but is still in good condition. Both departments say the city and county worked together to make the donation of Long Creek’s first diesel-powered truck. “Both our other trucks, our tanker and our engine, are gas and we’re hoping it’ll help the community a little more,” said Joey Ailes Jr., Long Creek VFD Assistant Chief. Newport Fire Cheif Randy Ragan said he was glad the city could help the small volunteer agency.“It is nice to be able to help and it makes us feel good that somebody in Cocke County is going to be able to use this engine again."
