March 15, 2008 - Flood Season is Here

Spring is here and the flooding is beginning in the middle part of our country. So far, the idea of a rescue boat and water pump as part of the First Response Team has just been an idea. But the floods are upon us, and I believe if we have this equipment as a permanent part of the First Response Team we can respond quickly to not only open up roads but also to rescue people from their homes. We can even use the high powered pump to empty water out of buildings the city really needs to begin again, such as hospitals or town halls. We can’t help unless we are equipped, and we can’t respond quickly unless the equipment is on the trucks with us. It’s time to add this equipment to our resources.
