E-ONE is offering fire departments a chance to win a new Tradition ES commercial pumper, valued at $170,000.

Departments have until March 8, to submit their entries, in 500 words or less presenting why they are the most deserving department in United States. The entries will be reviewed by an internal E-ONE committee using the selection criteria which can be found on the E-ONE web site.

The finalists will be announced on April 23. Once the finalists are announced, the fire industry will be asked to read the stories and vote online for the department they feel is the most deserving. Voting will end on Aug. 27 at 1 p.m. CST and the winner will be announced on Aug. 27, at E-ONE’s booth at Fire-Rescue International.
