Minnetonka Fire Department Equips Liberia With Gear
A civil war in the country has caused a significant loss of infrastructure.
From the city of Minnetonka:
About a year ago, the fire department, with permission, donated some used gear for redistribution in Liberia.
Liability issues prevented the gear from being reused within the United States.
