Last Saturday after crews trained on Brush 62 it was officially placed back into service after receiving a complete refurb over the last 7 months at Swab Wagon Company. The old utility box was rusted beyond reasonable repair to continue using for emergency calls. The truck was completely stripped, the cab was painted , under body sprayed , control box and switch board panel and portable radio holders added in the center council. The utility box is completely new and constructed of aluminum, compartment shelves were added, compartment lighting, ground lighting, scene lights, telescoping scene lights. The entire pump was taken off and reconfigured so the brush can now operate as a quick attack if necessary or in places engines cant reach as easy. Its capable of drafting and supplying a 3 inch line and supplying 1.75 inch attack lines to fight fires if necessary. It now also has 2- 1 inch booster reels, 1 inch forestry cross lays, a 1.75 inch attack line, and 3 inch for water supply. It also has all the forestry equipment that it has always had. The utility box is removable so if we ever need to replace the truck it can be put on a new chassis in the future.
With the upgraded scene lights , equipment, and new pump configuration we are excited to better our equipment and provide upgraded protection to the community that we previously were not capable of doing with the way the brush was configured before.
We want to thank the community and all our supporters who help keep us going and provide the funding to upgrade our equipment. You also hear horror stories about social clubs and fire companies and we are fortunate to say that we have an amazing working relationship with our social club and officers and without the community , club, and officers none of what we do would be possible.
Thank you all from the 62 Crew
