#exciting times in East Dubuque, progress continues @edbqfire & #emergencyservicesbuilding.

The EDFD did a Push In for our new Squad. The history of this dates back to days when the fire service would push their horse drawn apparatus back into quarters upon returning from a fire. We continued that tradition today S231 is officially in service! @firetruckmall @edbqfire

More progress with the @edbqfire & @eastdbq ……things are getting really #exciting…..as demo in the new apparatus bay is just about complete!

LET THE #DEMO BEGIN!!! Look for more updates as a new exciting era for the city is beginning! @edbqfire

Just a little update on the progress of the building. The fire department is in the process of finishing boxing up our mtg and moving those items. Once that is complete it will be turned over to the contractor to start the renovation our mtg room into an apparatus bay. @edbqfire

It was a great day @edbqfire as we took delivery of our new Squad! Thank you to Brindlee Mountain Fire Appartus for the excellent work they did on refurbishing this appratus! #firetruckmall
