Protecting citizens and property in Osgood, IN

This patch was designed by our department, and depicts the 1988 FMC pumper, received just before the patch was designed. It is similar to the new E-ONE pumper we took delivery on in 1999.

NOTICE**** We do not trade or give away patches. We get about 5 requests for patches a week from the internet. The patches cost us $7 each, ($35 times 52 weeks equals $1820 a year plus postage!!!As you can see, this is why we can't send out patches. WE ARE VOLUNTEER!) SORRY
