Phillipsburg Fire Departments
PHILLIPSBURG — The officers and members of Phillipsburg Fire Department and Phillips County Rural District #1 Fire Department would like to thank several organizations for their generosity in support of our recent grant request for equipment upgrades.
Their contributions enabled the departments to purchase a new Ford F550 with 500 gallons of water capacity and 20 gallons of foam. This truck has the capability of two 1½” cross lays, two whip lines and a booster reel.
This truck replaces an outdated 2001 Ford F350 brush truck, which previously only held 300 gallons of water.
Again, the Phillipsburg FD and Phillips County Rural District #1 FD wants to thank the following organizations that made this possible:
· DANE G. HANSEN FOUNDATION
· ALBERT MORGAN AND LEONA A. MORGAN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
· DARWIN AND LORENE COLE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
· PHILLIPS COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
· RANGELAND COOPERATIVES, INC. AND CO-BANK
This new equipment will help us to continue to assure a high level of emergency services for those who deserve the best…the people of our community.
