On Monday, May 14 the Grand Gorge fire department and emergency services staff welcomed a new Argo ATV, specially outfitted for search and rescue in all terrains: even water! This amphibious vehicle was acquired with a special $22,000+ grant from State Senator John Bonacic.

DJ Speenburgh, Wink Hinkley, Tom Murray, Karen Hinkley, Tom Hynes and Donald Oakley were on hand to greet the newest member of the Fire and Rescue staff — an Argo ATV!
