A tip of the Jersey City Desk cap to Global Container Terminals

Global Container Terminals CEO John Atkins did a very unselfish thing for the city of Bayonne and the Bayonne Fire Department, he donated $332,237 so the BFD (lol) could get the title and insure a fire truck they had taken delivery of 4 months ago yet could not use.

The new fire truck, called a "specialty pumper" and has a 1,500 gallon a minute pumping capacity will replace a 12-year-old truck that will now become a reserve truck.

In these trying economic times, this is probably the last thing the City of Bayonne or anyone expected. This is beyond nice, this is a great gift by Global Container Terminals. Kudos.
