BEFORE AND AFTER: SECOND LIFE FOR AN OLD EMS AMBULANCE

Climax Volunteer Fire Department recently converted an old ambulance chassis donated by the Board of Commissioners into a brush truck. The flat bed was donated, the tank and skid unit came off of the old truck, and Climax volunteer firefighters did all the work. With a total of $200 invested in the project, the truck is in service now and ready to fight fire.

Good work, Climax VFD!

Blackjack Volunteer Fire Department converted a donated truck from Georgia Forestry into a brush truck, as well, and has already used it at a fire. Click on The Post-Searchlight to read the story. Hats off to Blackjack VFD, too!
