During Tuesday night monthly meeting members voted to add another tool to better serve the community of Meherrin and the surrounding areas. We voted to sell our back up Medi unit Medic 5-2 which is already sold, which the money that we get from Medic 5-2 and go towards the new utv. The Utv is a 2013 Polaris 800xp. It will take sometime to design the Utv to our needs. So far we are going to design it for Fire and EMS. A big thank you to Vest Sales, Inc. for purchasing Medic 5-2 and to Taylor-Forbes for selling the Utv to us.
