I spoke to Fire Chief Trevor Choffe and when I congratulated him on the grant he said, “Are you serious? This is so exciting!” In fact he got so excited that Siri started playing music!

I extended my best to his volunteers and he said they would be very excited with the news. Here is the craft they will be ordering:
(Sept. 3, 2020) It has finally arrived and we have photos the boat in action!
