Hackberry will get new fire station

The Kingman (Ariz.) Daily Miner reports that the small Route 66 town of Hackberry, Ariz., will be getting a new fire station, with the help of a longtime Route 66 business:

The new station and engine will also benefit travelers along the Route 66 corridor and will respond to fire and other incidents in Valentine, Truxton and Valle Vista with other NACFD No. 1 resources.

“Providing this fire station fills a void for our district by completing our coverage of the Route 66 corridor and allows our district to achieve our goal of providing emergency services in rural areas that have traditionally had no type of fire or emergency services,” said Jimmie Bodenhammer, NACFD No.1 Board Chair.

John and Kerry Pritchard of the Hackberry General Store donated land for the new station.
