Rescue Tower

Today marked a pivotal moment for Fire Company 1 as we proudly welcomed our newest addition to the fleet, the state-of-the-art Rescue Tower, Tower-1. Our acquisition of a tower was made possible through our generous friends in the Fardale Fire District, who told us about the buy-one-get-one-free promotion they received when they purchased their new Tanker.

Additionally, not included in this tally is the hundreds of hours our members spent training to provide a high level of service each time we are dispatched.
