GREENE COUNTY, Va (WVIR) -

A fire crew in Greene County is showing off a new ride. The Stanardsville  Volunteer Fire Department just bought a brand new tanker.

It holds 3,000 gallons of water, up from 1,800 gallons the old model could handle. This new engine will be a big help in fighting fires, especially in rural areas.

"We have a lot of rural area where they don't have the water lines, and you have to shuttle your water or tanker your water to a call, and that's the main purpose of this truck," said Stanardsville Volunteer Fire Chief Mike Dickerson.

The new tanker cost $375,000 and the department helped pay for it by trading in the old engine, and raising money from the county and private citizens.

The Standardsville Volunteer Fire Department is hoping the tanker lasts twenty years.
