Please go online today and vote for two of our small rural communities. According to a Pacific Northwest fire truck dealer all we have to do is go online and vote and the winner will get a $150,000 fire truck. Two fire fighters from the towns of Hines and Butte Falls wrote essays on why their fire departments needed and deserved a new pumper unit. There were 650 entrants and now are down to 7 finalists. This will cost the tax payers nothing! The fire trucks that these towns are now using are at least 30 to 35 years old. This is sponsered by E-ONE, one of the nations largest manufacturers of emergency response vehicles.

To vote go to www.e-one.com and click on the large box that says "VOTE NOW".  The vote will count only if a verification is sent.

Because the contest was originally only for fire fighters you must give your email address, name the fire dept. and answer any marketing questions.

Please help these small communities.
