From The Chief

Chief Mark Nowell

"At times, our engine may respond with only the on-duty driver while meeting volunteers on scene. Having our medical response bag in the driver's side compartment, as well as long tools accessible from either side of the rig, cuts down on response time while keeping out personnel out of traffic."
