Ventura firefighters continue to pay it forward

(Above) Members of the Ventura Fire Department stopped in Storm Lake March 2 to show members of that fire department the new truck they picked up from Toyne Apparatus.  In 2018, Storm Lake gifted the VFD with a truck it had recently retired after Ventura’s pumper truck was damaged in an accident and a replacement was not readily available.  Now that their new truck is in service, Ventura paid forward the generosity by giving the Storm Lake truck to the Meservey Fire Department.  Pictured at the stop in Storm Lake are Ventura firefighters (L-R) Daryl Heinemann, Pete
