New Saws
February 20, 2019 by ·
Joint Fire Protection District Ferry Co #3 and Stevens Co #8 purchased 12 new chains saws.
Thanks to the men and women who participated in state Mob and DNR Fire last year.
The revenue you help bring into the district made it possible to update our chain saws; some of them were 20 years old. We will be adding more equipment to our structure trucks here soon.
I will post the new equipment as it comes in. Please take the time to thank our volunteers who help protect our community.
