Within the last two weeks, we have responded to two separate fires involving hay balers. Be sure to protect yourself, equipment, and property by keeping a fire extinguisher handy at all times while working in the field. It only takes seconds for a fire to rapidly take off in hay with the dry conditions we are currently experiencing.

🚜 Hay Season Is Here! 🌾

Hot temperatures, dry fields, and hard-working equipment can create the perfect conditions for a fire.

Don't let a small spark turn into a major loss. Make sure your tractors, balers, combines, and service trucks are equipped with properly maintained fire extinguishers.

🔥 Protect your equipment.
🔥 Protect your crops.
🔥 Protect your farmers.

Contact us today to inspect, service, or replace your fire extinguishers.

Last night for monthly training, members trained on vehicle fires and vehicle extrication. Newer and less experienced members learned how to safely approach and extinguish a vehicle on fire. Afterwards, members trained on basic extrication techniques with our new Holmatro Pentheon spreaders and cutters. Skills learned included identifying danger spots for airbags and struts, removing doors, roof removal and dash lifts/rolls.

We would like to give a a huge thank you to Finly Corporation for donating the materials for the concrete pad! As well as RSG Landscaping, LLC and Leesville Landscape Supplies for donating the materials needed for the rock bed!
