Give Your License Plate a Personal Feel with TheFireStore's Custom License-Plate Builder

TheFireStore's Custom License-Plate Builder

TheFireStore, the nation’s leading multi-channel distributor of public-safety equipment, supplies, training, and service, is thrilled to offer a user-friendly tool designed to create highly visible, sturdy license plates: the new-and-improved custom license-plate builder. Using an intuitive, efficient Build It. See It. Buy It. method, users can create a personalized license plate by selecting eye-catching text and graphics, along with a diverse selection of backgrounds, fonts, styles, borders, and colors. This way, users may see their works in progress created right before their eyes, all thanks to this proprietary, web-based tool.

TheFireStore prides themselves on only using the most dependable materials for constructing custom plates: Each personalized selection is applied onto an engineering-grade, highly reflective material. Once completed, they are fastened to a durable, 40-gauge aluminum plate that is equipped with four pre-drilled mounting holes – competitors use 25-gauge aluminum plates, thus making TheFireStore’s considerably sturdier. The selections and materials are then sealed and coated together with a 2-Mil UV over laminate coating that protects the printed images, creating a highly visible plate that resists fading, cracking, and peeling, thereby protecting its visual integrity for period of approximately five years.

Select from two size plates: full size, which measures six inches by 12 inches, and half size, which measures four inches by 10 inches. If your state of residence mandates that a state-issued license plate be shown on the front of your vehicle, select the half-size plate. It can easily be positioned for display above or below your state license plate and is pre-punched to allow easy top or bottom mounting. Should your state of residence not mandate a state-issued license plate to be displayed on the front of your vehicle, select the full-size plate, which can be mounted for display on the front of your vehicle and easily occupies all of the available space reserved for a license plate. Similar to the half-size plate, it is pre-punched at the top and bottom.

Are you ready to start customizing your plate? Visit TheFireStore.com to begin now.

Palm Bay (FL) Firefighters Hold Ladder Climb to Help Feed Children

Palm Bay firefighters held a ladder climb Saturday for the Children's Hunger Project. Firefighters were at the Wal-Mart on Malabar Road SouthEast Saturday to raise money through the purchase of gift cards that will be used by the Children's Hunger Project for local food distribution for kids.
Palm Bay firefighters climbed a 100 foot aerial ladder truck for each gift card that was purchased while carrying a bag of food with them as they went up.

"People don't realize it but there are school children that go home each weekend with little or no food to eat," said Firefighter John Mellace who is helping coordinate this year's event. "The Children's Hunger Project provides food for these hungry children and whatever we can do to support them is good for the kids and good for our community as a whole."

Richlands (NC) Expansion to be Considered

The Onslow County Board of Commissioners is voting Monday night on a proposal to sell land to the Richlands Volunteer Fire Department. The department's deputy chief said the department needs the land and it will benefit the community.
The land would allow the Richlands Volunteer Fire Department to not only build the bigger building, it would also improve response times.

The proposed lot is located next to the Richlands Town Hall and currently owned by the county.

The fire department is willing to pay $133,000 for it.

Plans and permits are already in place for the proposed 11,000 square foot facility.

Deputy chief Michael Jarman said one of the main issues is the facility is too small for updated fire trucks.

If approved, the department would continue to operate out of the building until the new facility is built.
