Local Great Falls Businesses Make It Happen for GFFR

In a new announcement through social media, the GFFR said:

 huge thank you to Jimmy Filipowicz with Steel Etc, BNSF, M&D Construction, Maxim Crane, and Sletten Construction for their generosity in their donation of a Hazardous Material rail car prop to GFFR. With this prop, it will allow our firefighters to train for high- and low-pressure ruptures and leaks, confinement exercises, and provide invaluable hands-on training of complex scenario-based rail incidents.

The new railcar is set up and ready for action.
