The Washington County Volunteer Fire Department recently put a new truck into service after spending two years on fundraising, grants, research, design and building.

In a statement, the Washington County Fire Department said:

"We're very proud of this new vehicle and lots of people put in a lot of hard work on it... A very special thank you to the Parsons Foundation who provided the majority of the funding for this project."

This truck includes a 12,000 hydraulic winch, 150-feet of one and a half inch line, and 300-feet of forestry line, and wireless headsets. Two self-contained breathing apparatuses with two cylinders, and all the standard tools the Washington County Fire Department carries on every truck will be on the newly serviced truck as well.
