North Whatcom fire commissioners move forward on station sale

Three years after declaring the Custer fire station “surplus,” North Whatcom Fire and Rescue is making progress toward selling the station and has hired local real estate broker Mike Kent to market the property.

Zico Presents a Drill-Free, Tap-Free, Weld-Free Mounting Alternative

YARDLEY, PA – Ziamatic Corp. (Zico) introduces the EZ-MOUNT Adhesive Fastening System, a new way to mount tools, equipment, and more. 

Zico's EZ-MOUNT System is a unique line of adhesive and fasteners designed for use on virtually any surface. The patented, non-sag acrylic adhesive holds your parts in place through permanent, high-strength bonds—bonds that provide as much as 2,700 pounds of tensile strength in only 20 to 30 minutes.

EZ-MOUNT allows for neat and clean installation and eliminates drilling and tapping, which exposes the core to moisture and leaks. It eliminates risk of inadvertent drilling damage and costly repair, and can be used in difficult locations where larger tools or people have poor access. It’s also easy to use without the need for expensive specialized labor.

Ideal for installing equipment and tool mounts, running wiring and cables, and even affixing light bars to the top of an apparatus without penetrating the roof, EZ-MOUNT is already being used by apparatus manufacturers.

Get started with an exclusive Apparatus Installation Kit available now. Then, simply refill only the parts you need.
