A snowmobile accident occurred off Woodward Road around the area where Almon is building his house, about a mile back in the woods. I don't know the seriousness of the injury or who the victim was.

Some of Fire, Rescue & Vermont State Police wait for the victim to be brought out

Great pictures Henry, As you can see the Rescue sled was donated by the Fletcher Rough Riders and Wildcat Trucking a number of years ago. The issue we keep running into with it is we do not have anything to pull it with. We rely on a member bringing a machine or as the case on Sat. a neighbor (Paul Bean ) having a machine to pull it with. We are currently looking at getting a machine to do this with. Prices run from $10,000.000 to $14,000.00 for a 4 wheeler with a track kit. I am asking for any help we can get with this. Does anyone have a good used machine they are not using? Does someone have a good (in) with a local dealer that might be willing to give use a great deal ?
We do several fund raisers a year and this is one of the items we are going to use that money for. But as always if there is any way we can save a few pennies. I can be reach at home or the Fire Station every Tuesday night from 7-9pm
Any help or ideas with this project would be greatly appreciated.
