North Charleston unveils Pink Fire Truck

The City of North Charleston unveiled its very own pink fire truck in front of city hall on Friday, October 21, 2011. Inspired by the Pink Heals National Fire Truck Tour, the city will use the pink fire truck to raise awareness for women and local non-profits in their fight against cancer.

At the unveiling, the fire truck was dedicated to Brenda Cawley who has shown brave resolve and been an inspiration to others in their fight against cancer. In addition, all city employees who have battled cancer will be specifically acknowledged on the fire truck.

An all-female crew from Fire Station 3 drove the fire truck to city hall with North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey as their passenger.
