All 21 firefighters in a rural community in western New Brunswick have resigned following a dispute over a fire truck.

The captain of the fire department in Saint-Andre, N.B. says the previous council agreed to sell the aging fire truck and replace it with a 2016 model.

However, after finding a buyer for the old vehicle, Capt. Gilles Paulin says the new council changed its mind and decided to keep the old truck, instead of buying a new one.

Paulin says the firefighters are refusing to use the aging vehicle because it’s too dangerous, and they will only return to work if the municipality replaces the truck.

In the meantime, firefighters from nearby Grand Falls will be called if there’s a fire in Saint-Andre.
