A update on our WL61 build.
This weeks progress:
✅LT Guthrie was able to mount the pump and build the plumbing parts, and we are waiting on a few bits and pieces to wrap it up.
✅We reassembled the console and set up the cab with some basics such as our map books, visi vests, command board and related items.
✅One of our members came in an recharged the AC…gotta have AC 😉, thank you!
✅Laid down matting in all the compartments and shelves and test fit some equipment.
Next week our plan is to:
✅ Finish the pump work.
✅ We will test run the pump.
✅ Wire up the portable radios in the cab.
✅ Wire up the shore power.
✅ Load up the equipment and water.
✅ Reweigh the truck, have a CVI done and update the ICBC policy.
✅ Give the truck a good clean and a wax
✅ Get it in service!
Thanks to everyone who has helped us with this project and shout out to our community for supporting us to get these projects off the ground!
We are working to be as cost effective as possible and do what we can ourselves to save us some money.
Looking forward to having this truck ready to serve our community.
