One of the last of the Dearborn Heights Firefighters‘ “Dragon Slayers” has found a new home in northern Michigan, the department said in a Facebook post recently.

The 1994 Pierce pumper – nicknamed by the late Chief Jim Langlois – was recently decommissioned by the department.

On Thursday, the truck was donated to the Tri-Town FIRE Department, which serves parts of three townships near Mio in Oscoda County. Chief Dave Brogan handed over the keys to TTFD Chief Kevin Marino and Capt. Brian Sukarukoff.

“Sad to see the ‘Dragon Slayer’ go but happy we found it found a good home,” Dearborn Heights Firefighters posted.
