CANFIELD

The Cardinal Joint Fire District is adding more vehicles while continuing to finish plans for a third fire station.

Fire district Chief Don Hutchison said the department has ordered two new pumpers at a cost of about $507,000 each.

One of its pumper trucks was damaged in a November crash on the Ohio Turnpike, in which a Maryland woman was killed. The department received $400,000 through insurance.

Hutchison said that the second truck was going to be replaced in 2014, but was put off until the third fire station, planned for Herbert Road in Canfield Township, is built.
