The Horsefly Volunteer Fire Department is pleased and grateful to receive a donation of a fully operational Rapid Response Water Suppression Fire Skid from GlobalMedic, the department said in a Facebook post recently.

The skid can quickly be installed into the back of a pick-up truck to be deployed into hard to reach areas. This fire skid is an invaluable addition to the department and community. This skid will transport and pump 1,000 liters of water (264 gallons).
