Cliff Williams / The Outlook Alexander City firefighter Logan Bevels readies straps on a new breathing apparatus before putting it into a fire truck at Station 2 in Alexander City Thursday.

The Alexander City Fire Department was a little late in getting gifts this holiday season, but on Wednesday and Thursday the department was delivered new breathing apparatuses.

“It’s like Christmas around here,” ACFD Capt. Jeff Brewer said. “We just got our presents a little late.”
