And After! Photo of Brush #3 truck ready to go

Brush #3 truck is kept busy since Platte Volunteer Fire Department has installed emergency lighting, siren, radio equipment and hand tools. Rhino-Liner coated the insides of the toolboxes to help prevent rust. A pump was mounted, plumbed and the Foam-Pro system was installed. Finally came the booster reel which made the truck 100% ready for service.

"Without the assistance provided by this program we simply would not be able to place apparatus like this in service."

"The FEPP and Fire Equipment program has allowed us to place a reliable unit in service for a fraction of the normal costs. Not only has this piece of equipment benefited our community it has already been in service at incidents across the state and been beneficial to people from many communities. Rick C. Gustad, Fire Chief
