The Thedford Rural Fire Protection District and Thedford Volunteer Fire & Rescue would like to introduce our newest build, T28. If it looks familiar, it spent all of its life as our 4x4 ambulance until now. After considerations of resale value of a used ambulance and the rising costs of pickup chassis, it was decided the old ambulance would better serve the district as a grass rig and save tens of thousands of dollars. The flatbed, poly tank, pump, and emergency light bar were already owned by the district. The only costs incurred were the removal of the ambulance body, stretching the flatbed, new off-road tires and the vinyl decals. Roy Licking took on the daunting task of removing the body, Sandhill Oil stretched the flatbed to fit the frame, and the vinyl decals were provided by Toxic Graphics in North Platte. All the rest of the build was performed in house by the volunteers to further save money. All in all, this build was less than $15,000. If anyone would like to see it or have any questions about the build, we will have it out at the fairgrounds tomorrow night during the barbeque which starts at 5:30 pm. We hope to see you there!

What requires a burn permit vs what doesn't require a burn permit?

Fact: There is a statewide open burn ban year round, 365 days out of the year, it's Nebraska State Statue 81-520.1. 😉

What does it apply to?
- It applies to bonfires, outdoor rubbish fires, and fires for the purpose of clearing land.

- It does allow a Fire Chief to make an exception to the burn ban by issuing a Burn Permit, but without a burn permit, you cannot have a bonfire, outdoor rubbish fire, or a fire for the purpose of clearing land.

What does it not apply to?
- It does not apply to outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and recreational fires such as a campfire.

It does not apply to those items because those fires are small in nature and in most cases will have a cover.

We even made a picture reference, because it can get confusing sometimes.

It's also important to know that each City may have their own ordinance on outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and recreational fires, so it's important you reach out to your local officials if you have any questions.
