Star Hose Company is pleased to announce recent achievements such as:
In partnership with TDI Towing & Recovery, purchased an Argo UTV (Pictured above on this page) for use during rescue and wildland firefighting operations.
Purchased a command vehicle for use by the fire department.
Contributed to morale items for deployed troops.
Due to the large purchases of the Argo and command vehicle, 2026 will likely be a year where we shift our focus to fundraising and grant writing. This will allow us to provide the fire department with new equipment or resources via grants, while restoring our funds to prepare for future purchases.
