The Malta-McConnelsville Fire Department is looking for a donor vehicle for our extrication training. Do you have a car that has been a pain and you want some revenge? Let us put it to good use helping firefighters practice the lifesaving skills needed after serious crashes.

A few things:
- Must have proof of ownership.
- We'll handle disposal after training.
- Open to all makes and models and condition.
- Your old car gets one last chance to be a hero.

If you've got a vehicle you'd like to donate, send us a message! We promise it'll go out with a bang... well, more of a cut, pry, and spread.

Thank you!

We're still open, but they're replacing lines and poles all down the alley across several blocks. Please be patient with the crew as they're super nice and working hard trying not to disrupt people and businesses as much as possible.
