Miller Press Covers NPF
The local newspaper, the Miller Press, has put together an article covering my new business, Northern Plains Fire.
Fiala said he will specialize in purchasing heavy-duty, good used pickups, refurbish them, and outfit them with new brush truck equipment. He hopes to complete a couple of trucks a month.Each pickup will be completely overhauled, and must pass his 156-point inspection. It will be outfitted with a 200-gallon water tank, a 10-gallon foam tank, a 20 horsepower motor, and a 200-foot hose. The truck will pump 120 gallons of water per minute, and can be used on grass, brush and forest fires.
"It will be good equipment, but it will cost substantially less than a brand-new brush truck," Fiala said. "Volunteer fire departments need affordable equipment." He estimates his brush trucks will cost approximately $20,000 less than a new model.
The company's motto is, "Good used trucks, great new fire equipment."
This is the first press coverage we have had and it is in conjunction with out open house that will be held on Thursday, October 20, from 1 PM to 6 PM. I'd like to thank the Miller Press for printing the article.
If you are in the area, stop by and have some coffee and cookies, and check out our brush truck.
I'll have more details on the brush truck posted on the NPF website soon.
