Birmingham Fire and Rescue gets new fire truck

The Birmingham Fire and Rescue Department unveils a new fire truck with special capabilities.

The Birmingham Oil Spill Co-op donated a one-thousand gallon foam pumper to the fire department. The foam is especially used to fight ethanol fires which are a potential risk for the oil companies in the co-op.

Before this donation, the department only had the ability to fight gasoline fires.
