"The sun seemed to be shining brighter than usual last Friday morning
outside the Johnston Fire Department headquarters on Atwood Avenue.
"
It seemed as though the sun was blazing a trail all the way to Bani, a
tiny village in the Dominican Republic, where firefighters are heroes
but often don't have the resources to save as many lives as they'd like.
"However, that changed quickly last Friday morning when Mayor Joseph
Polisena pulled off a unique and historic first, and issued a statewide
challenge, when he announced the Town of Johnston was donating two fire
trucks to the villages of Bani and Hato Mayor in the Dominican Republic."
A recent Johnston Sun Rise article reported on this donation of fire apparatus to the Dominican Republic villages.
