Just in time for the burn ban, Brush 1 is back from Haskell and is looking pretty good. Steele Fire Apparatus installed a new 1000 gallon poly tank with new plumbing, but reused the same pump that was already on the truck. They also installed the brush guards, tool boxes, emergency lights and a new front mount monitor that is controlled from the cab. All of our brush trucks are now in service.

December 24, 2009 Wintry weather resulted in numerous traffic accidents and stranded motorists. JNVFD spent most of the day responding to MVCs and pulling motorists out of deep snow drifts. The most harzardous conditions appeared to be along Hwy 84 between the wye and 613, Hwy 83 just north of Tuscola, and FM 613 west of town. Our responders logged in 27 man hours responding to calls today.
