A few pics from our latest deployment to Ashland. Monday night we received a request for a task force to head to Ashland at 10:30 pm. The task force was made up of trucks from Butler County Fire District #8 Douglas (2 6x6, 1 tanker and a command vehicle) Butler County Fire District 6 Latham ( 1 6x6), Cowley County Fire District #2 Atlanta (2 6x6, 1 8x8, 1 tanker and a command vehicle), Cowley County Fire District #3 - Burden (1 6x6, 1 tanker and a command vehicle, Winfield Fire/EMS Department (1 6x6), Arkansas City, KS Fire/EMS Department ( 1 6x6), 2 4x4 from Anderson County and we sent Pickup 41 and Pumper 42. We came home yesterday when Pumper 42 broke down. Winfield 6x6 and 6x6 from Burden also came home yesterday due to repairs. The rest of the task force shoukd be coming back today. Its very rough terrain. Some of the task had deployed also on Friday night with Atlanta and Douglas only being home for a few hours before redeploying Monday night.
