Erie County Legislator John Mills recently attended a dedication ceremony for the Town of Collins Fire Company and Fire District’s new truck and building addition. During the event, Legislator Mills presented volunteers with a proclamation congratulating them on the expansion.

The new fire truck was designed by members of the Town of Collins Fire Company and has a 1000-gallon water tank and 1500-gallon per minute pumper. Both purchases were made possible by fundraising efforts and a donation from former member of 45 years, Don Tarbox and his wife, former auxiliary member of 55 years, Dorothy Tarbox.

Legislator Mills said, “It was my pleasure to be part of the official unveiling for these new resources that will help the Town of Collins Fire Company and Fire District and its service to our community. The Town of Collins and surrounding neighborhoods are fortunate to have the fire company and fire district along with the men and women who volunteer their time to keep us safe. Thank you to all who made this expansion possible!”
