Here is a short video of our old T705 doing work in Ukraine.

You also helped fund the shipment of dozens of ambulances and fire engines to Ukraine. Your support has been a key part in the success of our shipments. Thank you for your support. Here are some images of vehicles in Ukraine that are there because of your support. Thank You.

Truck 705 is still helping those in need!!!

Hey Bedford Park Fire we just wanted to let you know that your Snorkel was put to good use last night after a drone attack in Kharkiv. Can't believe it's been one year since we delivered 705 to DSNS.GOV.UA in Kharkiv. Thank you for the support.

We are grateful to all that helped us deliver Snorkel 705 from Bedford Park Fire into the hands of Ukrainian fire fighters in Kharkiv. Direct Relief, UA-Resistance.org, and 🇺🇦 Consulate in Chicago thank you for all of the help. We are sad it was needed last night but proud it was there.

Thank you for this.. It’s amazing to see that 705 is still making a difference!!

Hey Bedford Park Fire and Village of Bedford Park just wanted you to see your Snorkel in action saving lives in Ukraine / Україна. Thank you so much for the donation of the engine and equipment back in 2023. Your generosity and support is still making a positive impact 2 years later. #Ukraine

We promised to get this fire engine from Village of Bedford Park Bedford Park Fire into the fight in Ukraine. We did in 2023. This was last night near Kharkiv following a Russian missile attack.

Sorry that Russia continues to wage its unjust war against Ukraine. But so thankful to Bedford Park Fire for donating this amazing fire engine to us back in 2023. It took lots of volunteers and supporters but we successfully delivered it in May of 2023.
