Viewfinder: Old Twinsburg Fire Truck a 'Treasure' in Dominican Republic

The 1989 fire truck was sold to a fire department in the Dominican Republic and has become a hit with the firefighters

Last year, the Twinsburg Fire Department sold their 1989 E-One Hush Pumper - Fire Truck in order to buy a new one.

The old truck was put up for a bid and was purchased by Orlando Vargas for his fire station in the village of La Vega in the Dominican Republic for $5,200.

Vargas said the truck is considered "a treasure in the community" and sent the city some pictures of the city and the truck.
