Lowell, OR (May 2024) – Lowell Rural Fire Protection District announces the installation of a new SCBA air fill station. When the district’s previous air compressor stopped working, the crew temporarily partnered with a neighboring district to fill their air packs. Replacing the in-house air fill station allows the district to operate at the highest efficiency for both training exercises and emergency situations. The installation of the new air fill station was recently completed, and financing for the project was provided by Government Capital Corporation, Southlake, Texas.
“We’re very thankful to have partnered with Government Capital on this project,” stated Lon Dragt, Fire Chief, Lowell Rural FPD. “Their expertise in Oregon financing made the process really simple, and the team provided great value to us throughout.”
“I want to congratulate Chief Dragt and the Lowell Rural Fire Protection District on completing their installation,” commented Matt Sullivan, Municipal Finance Specialist, Government Capital Corporation. “We take great pride in partnering with Oregon fire protection districts to provide emergency services to their residents and communities.”
