  TFT equipment awarded to Vernon FD

  Metro Fire and Task Force Tips are pleased to announce the delivery of more than $22,000 worth of TFT products to Vernon Fire Department. Metro Fire sponsored a Texas Fire Department Grant Program with an equipment value of $125,000.  The Vernon Fire Department was one of seven fire department recipients of the Grant Awards program selected from among the approximately 2000 fire departments in Texas.

  Chief Kent Smead thanked Metro Fire for the equipment, adding “This TFT equipment has enabled our Department to improve our fire suppression capabilities by allowing us to flow large amounts of water earlier in the incident thus reducing damage to property and protecting lives.”

  Vernon FD entered the Metro Fire Grant program last fall and was the recipient of many innovative TFT products, including:

  - Automatic Nozzles
  - Foam Attachments and Accessories
  - Crossfire and Blitzfire Monitors
  - Ball Intake Valves
  - Pro/Paks
  - and much more

  Normally, grant programs to aid the Texas fire service are provided by a government body and this was a first for a Texas fire equipment distributor to sponsor a grant program.  “After twenty-five years in business supplying Texas fire departments, I felt it was important for Metro Fire to give back to our customers.  We appreciate not only their business, but their dedicated service to protecting the citizens of Texas,” stated Metro Fire President/CEO Craig N. Russell.

  Congratulations to Vernon Fire Department!
