Kentland FD: SQ 33 lost in a fire

" Some people have asked "What about the insurance". The insurance is going to fall short of replacing our Rescue Engine by about 60%. We are a 501c-3 non profit fire department and we own all our apparatus. We receive minimal funding from the county (ie maintenance, fuel and partial insurance). We raise funds through grants, merchandise sales and community outreach. Through these efforts and the dedication of our members we are able to continue providing the citizens and visitors of Prince George's county superb Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical services.

Thank you for your support! "

Thank you for posting this. Like most departments they should have a choice to pick full replacement value or what they have. I would think they should change or think about changing the insurance coverage on the apparatus. I hope they reach the funding goal. I would think they need to raise $400,000.00 to $500,000.00.
