SOAP LAKE — Grant County Fire District 7 purchased a brand-new set of extrication tools — which will help the firefighters to remove people from damaged cars and perform life saving rescues.
This is new equipment for the department and GCFD7 is asking for donations of junk vehicles for the department to practice hands-on training with.
The vehicle does not have to run, and the department said they may be able to arrange transport. The choice must have a title or a junk vehicle affidavit for the department to use it though.
For those with questions contact the department at 509-246-0321.
