Below: Donald Wescott Fire Protection District donated its spare
rescue pumper truck to the Henry Volunteer Fire Department in Louisiana to help
replace those lost during Hurricane Katrina. Wescott Chief Jeff Edwards (left)
discusses plans for the trip with American Medical Response (AMR) Paramedic Eric
Miller and Wescott Captain Scott Ridings, who drove the engine to Louisiana. The
two left on Apr. 14 and arrived at the Henry station on Easter Sunday. Ridings
said the Henry firefighters were astounded by the excellent condition of the
engine and the full complement of installed equipment that allowed the pumper to
be immediately put into fully operational service . (See article on page
