December 13, 2007

An inspection trip on Brush 2 was completed on November 16th. Pictures have been added of the trip, which was a final inspection of the unit. A punch list was derived containing about a dozen items that need attention. The unit should be completed the week of the 26th and will be taken to FESCO for lettering. The lettering and striping will be done to match the Utility.

Brush 2 was picked up from DPC last Monday (12/03/2007) and delivered to FESCO Emergency Sales, where the lettering and striping will be completed.

The raft awaits additional training and the finalization of the county standard for equipment so it can be outfitted.

**Updated December 13th** Pictures added of Brush 2 at FESCO Emergency Sales where the striping and lettering have been completed. The unit will be picked up on the December 14th and be home in time for Christmas!
