Firetec Contest

Last Months'  Contest Winner is Joe Bush of Weyers Cave VFD in Swoop, VA. He guessed it took us  an average of (6) days to  sell the 17 units we sold in August. The guess was not correct but  we are so flattered we're sending him a prize anyway! Actual average was 117 days - which is typical: 3-4 months.

Members of the S. Thomaston FD, ME ventured across America to bring this 2000 Ford XL Superduty back home! Chief Bryan Calderwood of the South Thomaston, Maine FD reports: "We are very pleased with the rescue truck. It is a great asset to the department, the town, & our mutual aid departments.  This is the first rescue truck for the department with the Hurst Tools.  We travelled 3,200+/- miles from Farmington, CA to South Thomaston, ME & we did it in 56 hours.  We would like to thank Firetec for everything they did to assist us with purchasing this rescue truck from the other side of the country!!!!"
