The Argos Fire Territory recently increased its transportation fleet and at the same time is attempting to reduce exposure to cancer-causing toxins.
Argos Firemen’s Inc., the volunteer group of firefighters serving the Argos community, recently purchased a new-to-Argos 2000 F250 Super Duty Truck. The truck was spruced up, having new decals added, and was donated to the Argos Fire Territory.
On behalf of the Argos Fire Protection Territory Board, President Randy Snead received the keys to the new addition.
Dennis Mark, President of Argos Firemen’s Inc., stated in a press release that they were able to purchase the truck from donations received during several fundraising efforts and other donations received throughout the year.
The new truck provides space for gear exposed to carcinogens to be transported back to the station safely, allowing for a clean cab in the fire trucks.
The new truck has already been put to good use for general transportation, carrying extra hose to a fire, and bringing gear back to the station. The truck was purchased from the Bremen Fire Department.
