Greenville Fire Department Roster will be known as Quint 2.
Traditionally fire apparatus is named by what it does, Engine, Ladder,
Heavy Rescue, Medic, etc. In this case this apparatus does 5
different things. It carries a 75-foot aerial ladder, a full complement
of ground ladders, water (500) gallons, a pump, and equipment. So

By Lyn Bliss,
Senior Scribe
As of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer
said the possible kidnap case is still being actively investigated. No
more information is available at this time.
“I'm taking the report seriously and continuing to actively
investigate.”
Posted since Monday...
There was a kidnap report about 10 p.m. Sunday. It included a call for
money. It happened on 47. Involves Darke County Sheriff's Department.
At approximately 10:50 a.m. Monday, I talked to Detective Baker at the
Sheriff’s office… They will make no comment regarding the kidnap
call. When I inquired if someone making a fraudulent kidnap
report is prosecuted, he said no comment would be issued. I asked if I
could call him back tomorrow and he said yes.

for every problem. Remember the repeated claims of “shovel-ready”
projects that needed only federal stimulus money to get started? Last
year the President quietly... Read
