"We need to trust that the apparatus will get us to the job and back home again. KME rigs are the toolboxes we need to help save lives. At a moment's notice it has to be reliable and perform the way we need it to. I have complete trust in every KME fire truck we have"
"Thirty feet of avalanche-inducing snow in a single season isn't uncommon for us. Neither are dozens of wildfires that threaten homes. That's why our engines need to be Tahoe tough. They're built to perform off-road and help us stay on-task, in every emergency. For our departments, serving people is a time-honored mission."
