On Friday, October 4, the Truck 45 crew attended Stonegate Elementary School’s 7th annual Harvest Festival. The fire truck was put on display and the crew described the specialized equipment carried and the duties performed by West Sacramento’s Truck Company. Both parents and kids were very interested in the hydraulic (“Jaws of Life”) tools used for extrication rescues. Kids lined up to take a seat in the truck’s tiller cab; and even Chipper, the California Highway Patrol’s mascot, took a turn to see what it is like to steer the back of the fire truck.
