We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to the members of the Rison City Council and Mayor Roberts for approving and providing the funds necessary to upgrade an important piece of our fire apparatus.

This 2004 KME pumper truck will be a major upgrade for our department, replacing the outdated 1987 FMC that has faithfully served our community for 39 years.

The pumper was purchased from the Hagerstown Fire Department in Hagerstown, Maryland. Two of our firefighters flew to Maryland, took possession of the truck, and drove it nearly 1,100 miles back home to Rison.

We are extremely grateful for this addition to our fleet and are confident it will play an important role in protecting our community for years to come.

Thank you all for your continued support.
