🚨🐴 Important Announcement from Horsepasture Volunteer Fire Department 🐴🚨
Due to the rising cost of diesel fuel, Horsepasture Volunteer Fire Department has made the difficult decision to transition from horsepower to actual horses effective immediately.
Our new response units will include:
• 1316 (2-horse team, top speed 25 mph)
• Tanker 1320 (4-horse draft edition for extra water capacity)
• Brush Unit 1336 (pony-powered for tight spaces)
This change will help us cut fuel costs, reduce emissions, and provide plenty of roadside grass breaks during calls. 🌱
We appreciate the community’s support as we move into this new era of emergency response. If you see us coming down the road, please pull over and give the horses room to pass!
Happy April Fools’ Day from Horsepasture Volunteer Fire Department! 😂🚒🐴
