On Monday, January 18, 2016, members from the Laytonsville Volunteer Fire Department, took a road trip up to PA to see the progress of the new Tanker. D/C Buddy Sutton, Jim Snyder, Robert Balser, Luke Merrill, and Michael Wolford walked around the facility looking at all the work that has been done so far. Tanker 717 is expected to be completed sometime in the Spring.
