Truck 173 made its first trip out to the sand dunes today.

Several of HFD's members worked all day Tuesday to get the truck ready for opening day.  Lights were wired, sirens installed, and finally a dune flag bolted to the front of the truck.

Today we were able to get the new wheels installed on the truck.  Unfortunately until we are able to lift the truck a few inches we won't be able to use the tires due to clearance problems in the front wheel well. 

A big thank you to Vinyl Signs Plus in Mears MI for donating the new decals for our truck.  They installed the decals this afternoon.
