Fire Truck flown In

And, nearby, the worry was less about floods and more about putting out fires.

That's after an American firefighter met a Belizean police chief on Caye Caulker and heard about a suburban fire station in desperate need of a new fire truck. They struck up a conversation and the rest as they say is history.

And 6 months later Cherisse Halsall headed to Ladyville for a first-hand look at the gift Belize received through that chance encounter.

And while the Firetruck was donated by the efforts of that kind fireman it was flown in by the U.S. Government and rolled off of a C-17 air force plane
