🚒 534 is Back on the Road! 🚒

Being good stewards of the money generously donated to our department is something we take very seriously. Recently, our oldest truck, 534, needed a new motor. Rather than scrapping the truck and starting over, the decision was made to purchase a motor and complete the overhaul right here at the station.

Thanks to the talented and dedicated members of our department, 534 is back up and running strong! What makes this even more special is the history. This truck was originally built out by our own members 25 years ago.

This project not only saves valuable funds but also continues the proud legacy of building, maintaining, and preserving the equipment that allows us to serve our community. With care, stewardship, and teamwork, we’re ensuring our fleet is ready for decades to come. Big thanks to Dillon Newman, Paul Duncan, and everyone else that pitched in to get this done.
