The Edna Volunteer Fire Department has acquired a new vehicle.
The department has purchased a 2019 Dodge Durango from the Labette County Sheriff's office. Volunteer Firefighter Jacob McCallie says having a smaller vehicle in the fleet increases their flexibility.
The new vehicle replaces the 1998 Chevy suburban the department had been using. With EMS arrival taking an average of 15-25 minutes in the area, the Edna Fire Department is often first on scene to provide life saving CPR and first aid. Fire Chief Joe Kashka says recent fundraisers allowed the department to purchase the new vehicle.
In addition to the pancake feed, the department also sponsors the annual Edna Christmas Parade, which is coming up this year on Saturday, December 9th at 2 p.m.
