It iya1997and was donated tmthe Zone #3 Explorer program from VRFA, in201V.(See the attached letter, dated 12/6/2DIO) At that time late Advisor Capt. Mike McCoy was very involved In our program and was instrumental in getting two (2) vehicles donated to the Fire Explorers for Rehab support in Zone # 3. One was a Chevy mini -van and the other this 1997 Ford Expedition. Mike offered and coordinated with the TFD Fire administration at the time, the donation of the Expedition to Tukwila Fire. He used it quite often, on his days off prior to his passing, In support of Rehabilitation responses and coverage as a "Take home" vehicle, The Mini -Van was assigned to Explorer Post # 24 and used as "Rehab-1" by numerous off -duty and volunteer advisors. This vehicle, which ran numerous calls (100 plus a year), had over 175,000 miles and after 4years ofservice was surp|used' As you may know, the Ford Expedition is still owned by the City of Tukwila and assigned to the Fire Department. Since Mike's untimely passing, it has very rarely been used and still technically belongs to the Fire Explorer program, as reference to the decals, lettering and Rehab supplies carried. We are asking for your support and assistance in transferring the ownership of this 1997 Ford Expedition back to the Zone # 3 Explorers, (Explorer Post # 24 is the post with vehicle Insurance and financing to cover the transfer and future maintenance costs and would be the legal owner) This vehicle would be used for Zone Rehab support and responses, as was its initial use and designation. In memory of Advisor Mike McCoy, we would add signage to the vehicle to memorialize his dedication and commitment to the Fire Explorers.
