    The return of Dueling Pianos drew a crowd to the Alpena Community Center Saturday as the Alpena Volunteer Fire Department hosted the fundraiser to help outfit the department’s new brush truck. “We just purchased a new Dodge pickup to build a brush truck. We have to purchase a flat bed, all new lights and sirens, plus radios for the new truck. The proceeds from the event will go toward that,” said Alpena Fire Chief Ryder Schweitzer. “It was an amazing turn out we couldn’t be more thankful for the small community we have.”
