“This is the fourth apparatus we’ve built for Lynn-Scott-Rock [Fire Protection District] and we’re proud to continue serving their needs,” said Mike Schwabe, President of Toyne, Inc. “We look forward to working with LSR again in the future and hope this pumper tanker/tender serves their district well in the years to come.”
LSRFPD is a volunteer department that provides fire, rescue, and emergency medical services to a local area population of roughly 3,400 residents. The Lynn-Scott-Rock Fire Protection District is a member of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS), an organization of hundreds of fire departments in Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
