For SALE!!!
Are you looking for a dependable, reliable, fuel-efficient emergency vehicle?
Then keep scrolling. This is absolutely NOT the truck for you.
For the select buyer who appreciates vintage craftsmanship, mechanical uncertainty, and the sweet smell of gasoline mixed with deferred maintenance, we proudly present:
Brush 2!
This magnificent warrior has spent decades bravely protecting the community from wildfires, structure fires, suspiciously large BBQs, and whatever else people manage to accidentally set on fire.
And now it's ready to serve YOU.
This ol' girl comes to you with 427 cubic inches of.American Muscle under the hood, ponied up to a 5 speed manual transmission, and the good old twin stick transfer case, this beast will take you just about anywhere you want to go, And probably some places you wished you hadn't.
🛞 Great tires — capable of traveling over gravel, mud, rocks, sagebrush, trees, fences, stumps, and occasional concrete barriers..... Not that we know.
Air conditioning — just kidding, this dinosaur doesn't have it.

She comes to you ready to haul 500 gallons of water to whatever corner of the world you're headed to... Just don't get in a hurry...

300gpm PTO driven pump at 150psi — because apparently driving into a fire with a garden hose wasn't considered acceptable even back in 1979.

Custom fire service paint — featuring several decades of dirt, scratches, soot, and colors that were once intentional.

This old girl has bravely answered calls for years.
It has been driven through places where no sane person would willingly take a vehicle.
It has carried firefighters, hose, tools, water, equipment, and occasionally the hopes and dreams of the guy who said:
“Don't worry, it'll make it.”
And somehow…
It usually did.
MAINTENANCE HISTORY
Maintained regularly by highly trained professionals using the latest diagnostic technology:
“Does it still run?”
“Yeah.”
“Good enough.”
Service intervals have traditionally been determined by one of three events:
The calendar.
Something breaking.
Someone noticing the fluid on the ground.
BONUS FEATURES
Every rattle has a story.
Every dent is a memory.
Every scratch was earned in the line of duty.
Every mystery switch does something.
Includes several warning lights, some of which are apparently more decorative than informational.
May contain enough dirt to qualify as agricultural property.
Comes with the unmistakable aroma of smoke, that we're pretty sure lives with the truck now. Good luck getting it out.
Why are we selling it, you ask?
We've decided it's time to let someone else experience the unique joy of owning a vehicle where “turns over” is considered a performance specification.
Besides, we've upgraded to something newer.
Something quieter.
Something a little less... Tenured.
We have convinced the powers that be to let us try to sell it locally before we throw it out on the interwebs for just anybody to pick it up.

Wednesday’s Thunderstorms Keep Heppner Fire Crews Busy

A series of lightning storms on Wednesday, July 22, resulted in multiple wildfire responses throughout Morrow County and surrounding areas.

At 8:01 PM, Heppner Fire Rescue, Lexington Fire and Rescue, Ione Fire, and numerous farmers and landowners responded to a lightning‑caused brush fire on Porcupine Lane near Hardman Ridge Road, southwest of Ruggs. The fire burned approximately 350 acres and was declared out at 10:13 PM.

At 8:22 PM, while units were still engaged at the Porcupine Lane fire, the Morrow County Sheriff's Office 911 Center received another report of a lightning‑started brush fire near Fairview Lane and Highway 74 near the Morrow County Fairgrounds. Heppner and Lexington Fire responded, but cleared the scene at 8:38 PM after determining the fire had already been extinguished by rainfall.

On Thursday, July 23 at 12:21 AM, Heppner Fire Rescue, Lexington Fire, Ione Fire, Boardman Fire Rescue District, and assisting farmers and landowners responded to a lightning‑sparked fire in the area of Little Butter Creek and Healy Road east of Heppner. The fire was declared out, and crews cleared at 3:18 AM.

At 9:35 AM, new reports indicated the Little Butter Creek fire had rekindled. Heppner, Lexington Fire and Rescue, Boardman Fire Rescue District, Echo Fire Department, and Pilot Rock Fire District, along with Morrow County Emergency Management, Morrow County Public Works, and numerous landowners and farmers, responded. The fire was declared out at 8:12 PM after burning approximately 3,000 acres.

Later that day, at 6:01 PM, Heppner Fire Rescue, Boardman Fire Rescue District, and Irrigon Fire Department responded to the Cottonwood Fire near Devils Butte Road and Highway 206 west of Condon in Gilliam County. Heppner deployed two firefighters and a heavy brush truck, returning to station shortly after midnight.

Also on Thursday at 8:23 PM, Heppner and Lexington Fire were requested to assist Pilot Rock Fire with a vehicle fire near Gurdane Road and Highway 74 in Umatilla County. Crews were cancelled before arriving.

On Friday, July 24 at 1:23 PM, Heppner Fire Rescue, Boardman Fire Rescue District, Irrigon Fire Department, Umatilla County Fire District #1, and Umatilla Rural Fire Protection District responded to the Shingles Fire, located approximately 13 miles east of Mitchell in Wheeler County. Heppner Fire deployed a brush truck and two firefighters, who may remain assigned to the incident for up to 14 days.

Heppner Fire Rescue extends its sincere appreciation to all cooperating agencies, landowners, and local residents for their assistance, cooperation, and continued vigilance during this period of heightened fire activity. We further thank community members for their ongoing support and encouragement—it makes a meaningful difference to our crews during long and challenging days.

🚒❤️ Supporting Our South Morrow County Firefighters ❤️🚒

Our firefighters have been extremely busy responding not only to our own fires, but also to mutual aid requests, helping neighboring departments and counties battle wildfires.

We are so grateful for the incredible support our community always shows! Many people have been asking how to help! The best thing to do, is to contact a member of the SSMCF board!

Every fire incident operates differently. Each county and department has its own process for feeding firefighters and delivering supplies. In many cases, the Incident Command Post is located miles away from the actual fire, and for safety reasons we don't want community members trying to locate firefighters on their own.

If you'd like to donate food, drinks, or other supplies, please contact: Darcie Chick @ 541-945-9495. You can also contact the other Board members as well - Josie Miles, Katilyn Zinter, Bria Wright, Tracey Johnson, Stephanie Lee. We can let you know what is currently needed and the safest, most appropriate drop-off location.

If you'd prefer to make a monetary donation to help purchase food, water, and other necessities for our firefighters, you can visit www.ssmcf.org or send a check to PO Box 24, Heppner, Oregon 97836.

Your generosity helps ensure our firefighters stay fed, hydrated, and ready to continue protecting our communities. Thank you for standing behind the men and women who serve South Morrow County! ❤️🚒
