HARD TO SAY GOODBYE

After almost 20 years to the day of faithful service the old Rescue 56 pulls out of the station one last time. She is going to her new home, a department in West Virginia purchased her to replace their damaged rescue truck. She has served us well and with continue to do so with her new owners. Best of luck old girl!

Last time out the door.

NEW RESCUE 56 PROGRESS

After dealing with many months of painstaking details the new Rescue 56 is in full service.  Within a few hours the new rig responded to numerous calls and has been busy ever since. We are expecting many years of problem free service.  We are sad to see the old R56 leave us after many years of faithful service. However, we are equally excited to run the new and improved Rescue 56 for many years into the future.
