NAVASSA VOLUNTEER FIRE    DEPARTMENT

Brush 1977 is a 2005 Polaris Ranger 6X6.  The Department applied to US Smokeless Tobacco's Operation Ranger Program in 2004 and was awarded a Polaris Ranger UTV in June of 2005.  The vehicle arrived to the Department red in color.  A small utility trailer was purchased to tow the vehicle to calls.  The Department decided to complete the vehicle conversion to firefighting vehicle in-house and save money.  Chief Williams contacted Pro Poly and worked directly with factory engineers on a custom 80 gallon tank and skid.  Darley Fire Equipment worked directly with the Department on choosing the right pump, and the Darley Davey was selected.  The plumbing and valves were purchased at the local Lowes Home Improvement Center. The skid unit was assembled and mounted on the unit.  The fire radio was added in the glove box to protect it from the elements.  The following equipment was also added : 

• Honda 1000 watt generator
• Vulcan rechargeable flashlight
