Members of station 293 traveled to Dublin OH this week for final inspection of the NEW 293 Rescue. The new rig is being manufactured by Sutphen Corporation. The truck looks unbelievable and will be a very welcome addition to the 293 Fleet. Expected delivery will be before the end of July. Photo Courtesy of J. Polka |
