BUILDING BETTER RESPONSE CAPABILITIES

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS.

Two additional units are in service now, and we are working to equip them for even greater usefulness. These ongoing improvements will help our volunteers reach brush fires, wildland incidents, and hard-to-access locations. Community donations help move each project forward.

IN SERVICE · IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY

Brush 27

1985 Chevrolet K30

This four-wheel-drive pickup adds mobility for brush and wildland responses where larger apparatus may have limited access.

Planned upgrades: toolboxes, tires, winch, lettering, and additional response equipment as donations allow.

IN SERVICE · IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY

UTV 27

John Deere Gator 825i

Our utility terrain vehicle can help members access trails, fields, and locations that conventional apparatus cannot easily reach.

Top priority: a firefighting skid unit with a water tank, pump, and hose. Additional storage, equipment, and lettering are also planned as funding permits.

HELP US COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS

Donations of funds, suitable equipment, or business sponsorships can help us improve both units. Please contact us before donating equipment so we can confirm compatibility and needs.
