Coon Rapids (MN) Fire Department Purchases Fire Station Alerting System

 

When the Coon Rapids Fire Department needed a new fire station alerting system, Chief John Piper, wanted to be sure it was one that met their specific needs.

Coon Rapids Fire Department piggybacked off of the publicly awarded US Digital Designs contract through FireRescue GPO/NPPGov.
