ENGLEWOOD — The Village of Lewisburg recently donated a 1989 firetruck to the Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Firefighter/EMS Program.
The FMC pumper / tanker built on a spartan holds 1,200 gallons of water and is capable of pumping 1500 gallons per minute. The Village of Lewisburg donated the truck at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
