AUSTINTOWN, Ohio - Austintown trustees approved the purchase of a fire engine for the Fire Department Monday morning.

According to trustee Jim Davis and Fire Chief Andy Frost, the purchase of the used 2006 engine saved nearly $300,000 as a new fire engine would cost around $450,000.
Trustee Davis says that while the engine is a 2006 model, the mechanics in the truck are actually better than a newer engine.
