Lebanon, Ore.
Today was a special day at the Lebanon Fire District, as we were able to donate our 1999 Pierce Lance Pumper to the Idanha-Detroit Fire District.
During the devasting Santiam Canyon wildfires in September of 2020, the Idanha-Detroit Fire District lost most of their firefighting apparatus. Fire Chief Chad LaVallee and members of the Idanha-Detroit Fire District made the trek to Lebanon today to sign the paperwork and make the donation official.
The Idanha-Detroit Fire District is an all-volunteer district that serves multiple communities along Highway 22. Those communities were ravaged by fires during the Labor Day weekend of 2020, affecting not only the residents but the fire district as well.
“We are glad to help our neighbors and partners,” says Lebanon Fire Chief Joseph Rodondi. “I am hopeful that this engine will be able to serve the residents of the Idanha-Detroit Fire District for many years to come.”
