The Decatur City Council held a vote on May 1st to decide which city would receive the $50,000.00 truck. Over a period of 4 months, Mallory remained in tough with Grande and Bolling and even sent letters to the Decatur City Council pleading with them to help Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department, who was struggling to keep their community Fire Department alive and running.

Mallory informed Grande that Stonewall VFD was a small rural department with very little cash and pleaded with him the possibility of the City of decatur donating the apparatus. Grande was open about other departments who'd inquired about purchasing the vehicle for their own departments. Mallory was then informed there was, indeed, a truck that had been taken out of service and was being held in surplus. He sent an email to the Mayor, Tab Bolling who then forwarded the email to the Decatur City Fire Cheif, Tony Grande. Frustrated at the amount of work being placed and going nowhere, Mallory remembered he'd forgotten one particular Alabama City.Decatur. Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery and Mobile had nothing in surplus. One day, he decided to focus on the larger cities here in Alabama to see what was available. Mallory began sending out letters using a boundary from Nashville, TN to New Orleans, La to Mobile, Al and getting nowhere quickly. Their main pumper was a 1990 Ford that only pumped from one side and had constant transmission issues along with a water leak that forbid holding more than one half tank of water. At that time, they were operating with a 1977 forestry issued truck that was costing more money to maintain and keep running that wasn't readily available. Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department Receives DonationДЄbout 5 months ago, Robert Mallory set out to improve the Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department located in the Canaan Community of Fayette County.
