Christmas came early to Shawnee County Fire District No. 4.
The department received a new fire engine Thursday afternoon.
The department purchased the fire engine with funds from its fire equipment fund and through a lease purchase agreement with Community Bank in Topeka.
The approximate cost of the engine is $215,000.
Shawnee County Fire District No. 4 covers western Shawnee County and part of eastern Wabaunsee County. It is the only department in Shawnee County that is operated by volunteer firefighters only. There are about 20 volunteer firefighters and EMTs.
The new fire engine will be placed at the Dover fire station and replaces an engine that is more than 20 years old.
