Nice - Have you got everything to equip it or is that next on the agenda?

Next project is moving everything over from our old truck.
That is going to take lots of work. We do have everything to equip it.

Was this purchase made possible with Homeland Security funds?

Not that I am aware of.
Oregon State Fire Marshal program. Our state has been an example for others. The Fire Marshal has been very involved and proud of the Hazmat program. This vehicle is our scheduled replacement. The one this is replacing has been in service since 1992.
