Lewis County Fire District 6 on Monday announced it placed a new brush unit in service.
“It takes years of thoughtful planning, saving and projecting costs to purchase new apparatus,” the district wrote in Facebook post.
This unit joins the 2001 Dodge brush unit, allowing the district to have units at both Station 1 and Station 2 for quick responses to fires, according to the district.
Fully funded by tax dollars, this unit carries 400 gallons of water attached, “powered by a Kubota super mini diesel; a larger cab for transporting more responders; and is designed to maximize tool/gear compartment space and pump accessibility,” the district stated.
Tools for the new apparatus were purchased from Service Saw, Industrial Specialties and Tractor Supply.
“We appreciate the support of our community and the opportunity to continue serving as efficiently and effectively as possible,” the district wrote.
