A whole lot of new today for us at Swain Rescue. Our new rescue truck got its markings put on and we purchased a new Polaris side by side. We would like to say a huge thank you to Lena over at Getcha Graphics for a job very well done on our markings. And a thank you to the sales team at MR Motorcycle in Asheville for helping with the purchase of our side by side. The side by side was purchased using funds from the North Carolina Office of the State Fire Marshal grant for disaster relief/ preparedness.

We are very proud to announce that we have purchased a new apparatus. This truck was purchased to replace our first out light duty rescue truck. We want to say a huge thank you to our brothers and sisters at Netarts-Oceanside Fire and Rescue in Oregon for the amazing opportunity to buy your truck. And an even bigger thank you to our community for all of your donations and support. Without you all this would not have been possible.

Be on the lookout for this truck in the coming weeks once we get new graphics and radios installed and equipment transferred from our old one.
