Platte Volunteer Fire Department
At a presentation ceremony in November 2007, Chief Rick Gustad of the Platte, SD, Volunteer Fire Department (left in photo at left) accepted the keys to a Polaris Ranger from USSTC Sales Representative John Carmichael. He then got behind the wheel of the vehicle (below) and was joined by a number of colleagues who shared his excitement over the donation. They included (l. to r.) Mayor Ken Lucas, Fire Captain Dale Severson, Assistant Chief Dave Meyerink, and firefighters Jarrod Lang, Darrin Erickson, Bruce VandenBos and Jarod Meyerink.
