Milton crews have been busy with birthday runs during the COVID pandemic. Crews have been well received and everyone seems to be having a great time despite the circumstances. If you would like us to do a birthday drive by for you or a family member, please message us on Facebook or email [email protected] and we will contact you to schedule something.

Several new driver trainees were present as well as some drivers with a few years in. Crews practiced drafting with the Engine-Tanker and Engine 4. Thanks to those who attended.
