Donald Wescott FPD donates pumper

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 .
