On Wednesday, May 6, the fire department returned the favor, donating its 1970 Ford pumper truck to the Nolalu Volunteer Fire Department of Nolalu, Ontario. Deputy Fire Chief Bob Payne of the Nolalu Fire Department expressed appreciation to Maple Hill Fire Chief Ed Hedstrom when he came to Grand Marais to pick up the truck. It will replace a 1967 Dodge with a broken frame.
