Akron officially dedicates fire equipment purchased for New York City. Hundreds gathered November 27 downtown for the dedication. The equipment, a 95-foot ladder truck, two EMS vehicles and three SUV police cruisers were purchased through the Greater Akron Fire Truck Fund that raised $1.39 million in two weeks.
