Rescue Squad 15 Progress Report #6
 
By Captain Matthew Thews
December 20, 2016
 

Rescue Squad 15 has finally made some progress at the body shop where it is receiving a new paint scheme. There have been some unforeseen delays, but progress is once again being made. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, steady progress has been made on refurbishing much of the equipment compliment for the new squad. Tools have been stripped down, repainted, and new grips installed. New bags and equipment has also been received. All this work means that there should be very little delay in outfitting the squad when it arrives. We currently looking at a projected in service date of February 1, 2017.
