We extend our deepest gratitude to DiVal Safety Fire and EMS and our sales representative Mike Parker for their invaluable support in transitioning us from antiquated nozzles utilized for over two decades to the state-of-the-art 1.5 inch Blue Devil 3015 model produced by Kuriyama Fire Products. These advanced nozzles feature adjustable flow rates quantified in gallons per minute (GPM). Given the rapid pace of technological advancements, this upgrade significantly enhances performance and mitigates firefighter fatigue. We are delighted to declare that our entire fleet of vehicles is now fully equipped with these contemporary nozzles.

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of two new pieces of equipment, made possible through the V-Fire grant. These additions will enhance responder safety by reducing exposure to carcinogenic substances. With the assistance of DiVal Safety Fire and EMS and our sales representative Mike Parker, the extractor and gear dryer were successfully assembled and set in place today.

We conducted our in-service training with unit 562 today, which included factory training to finalize its deployment. Subsequently, we relocated the remaining equipment from the old unit 562, designated it as out of service, and installed all the equipment on the new truck. The day concluded with comprehensive driver training.

Welcome home to the new 562!!! 3000 gallon tanker with a 1000 gpm pump. This was built with low manpower and limited resources in mind. This truck is equipped with a front mount turret and pump and roll technology. Labeled with "Ol' Timer" on the hood in memory of Tony (Pops) LaRock.
