McPherson Fire Department reclaims vintage fire engine
McPHERSON, Kan. (KSNW) — A piece of McPherson's firefighting history has come home. The McPherson Fire Department has recovered its 1949 Seagrave Fire Engine, a truck that served the community from 1949 to 1975. After nearly 50 years away, the vintage vehicle was delivered back to town Tuesday morning, arriving just before noon and now housed behind Fire Station No. 2. The return of the historic engine sparked interest online. 'This truck is part of our department's legacy,' the department said in a social post. 'Bringing it back was a labor of love.' The Seagrave had been in Manchester, Iowa. Two department members and two local volunteers made the long-haul journey to retrieve it, departing McPherson early Monday and stopping overnight in Missouri before completing the trip. The fire engine was acquired from Judy Keuter, who had preserved the truck. Credit for initiating the reunion goes to Forrest 'Fuzzy' Durey, who helped coordinate the sale and transportation. Woman charged for selling stolen coins from Kansas farm The department plans to restore the truck to running condition and will soon launch fundraising efforts to cover repair and restoration costs. 'This is just the beginning,' the department said in the post. 'We can't wait to get it running again and share this piece of history with the community.'

Firefighters help repair historic Adams County Courthouse clock tower after high winds
A historic Pennsylvania courthouse got a helping hand from community volunteers after a part of the building's clock tower came loose due to high winds, according to officials. In a release, the Gettysburg Fire Department shared that the volunteer department's firefighters were called to assist with securing loose pieces of an aluminum scroll on the Adams County Courthouse's clock tower on Wednesday morning after high winds and severe storms moved through the area on Tuesday. "Due to the increase of wind, it was important to secure this as soon as possible, so it would not blow off and potentially injure someone," the department said in their release. Utilizing the 104-foot aerial ladder of the department's Truck 1, a 2007 Seagrave ladder truck, maintenance personnel ascended the ladder and secured the aluminum scroll pieces back in place. Those storms, including a severe thunderstorm, had gusts up to 60 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Half-inch size hail was reported in Adams County, the weather service said, and social media reports showed significant hail in the northern portions of the county near Aspers. Wednesday was also expected to bring high winds, with the service forecasting wind gusts of 35 mph throughout Wednesday in Adams County. Fire police officers from the department assisted with traffic control on one of the borough's main roads as crews worked to secure the precariously dangling pieces of the building. The Adams County Courthouse, located at 111 Baltimore St., is a historic building within Gettysburg, and was built in 1858. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. During the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the courthouse was used as a field hospital.

Academy talent and astute signings? Are Foxes equipped for Championship?
Our football news reporter Nick Mashiter has been taking your Leicester City asked: Why do other Premier League clubs have a conveyor belt of players coming through their youth academy and making appearances in the first team. Is Seagrave not working?Nick: Ben Chilwell, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Harvey Barnes have earned the club £113m over the past few years, which justifies the academy because there has not been a breakout star this season does not mean Seagrave is not working. It also has to be the right time to introduce young players into the team, taking their development - mentally and physically - into cannot forget Liverpool took Trey Nyoni from Leicester in 2023. The midfielder has already made five appearances for the Reds this season - including in the Champions League. So the conveyor belt is there - it is just that bigger sides are taking them away Jeremy Monga is expected to be the next star, although the Foxes face a battle to keep him with Manchester City just 15, Monga and has travelled with the senior squad this season - Steve Cooper regretted not including him in the squad to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup defeat in van Nistelrooy did have him on the bench against United in the FA Cup and Monga has captained England Under-16s this Jake Evans, who has 10 goals in Premier League 2, has been training with the seniors regularly and the 17-year-old is in the plans for including Thomas Wilson-Brown - on loan at Kilmarnock - and Will Alves - who is now on loan at Cardiff - have been on the is not forgetting Kasey McAteer, Luke Thomas and Jakub Stolarczyk who have all played this season and came through the academy at various a Leicester fan? Find and follow your team hereStuart asked: How equipped are Leicester City to be a force in the Championship next season? Can a combination of our academy talent and astute new signings reignite this club?Nick: Similar to Dave's question (08:20 GMT), it is a difficult one to answer. I would love to have a crystal ball to definitively say Leicester will walk the Championship next season, but there could well be a lot of change before a ball is kicked in Foxes will remain a draw and a big club in the division and astute is the right word to use for signings because finances will again be tight and they will need to be clever in the is likely to mean the academy players will be promoted - as mentioned, Evans and Monga are two of those - because the club will need to use the resources they satisfy the finances, players will leave. Mads Hermansen will have interest, it will be hard to keep Wilfred Ndidi in the Championship again and Sunderland could come back in for McAteer after their deadline day bid was once the summer window has closed and we know the make-up of Leicester's squad will we be able to start a proper assessment.
