New Rescue Placed into Service
On May 17th the new F-550 rescue/brush unit was placed into service at the Elkhorn Station and will be identified as Rescue 85 (R85). The new unit will carry basically the same equipment as the unit it will replace for handling medicals, motor vehicle accidents, rescues, and wildland fires.
The unit replaced in Elkhorn will be moved to the Stayton Station and will be identified as Brush 80 (B80). B80 will be placed into service in Stayton once equipment is added and personnel become rated to operate it.
