Fundraiser to save lives
 

Diesel Truck Resource would like to announce a fundraiser in progress for the North Carolina Canine Emergency Response Team, Inc. (NC CERT). NC CERT is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to saving lives. See more at http://www.nccert.org/donate1.php

Our team responds to many types of incidents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. We respond to Disaster, Cadaver, Water and Wilderness searches. One of the unique things about our team is that it's a true volunteer organization. Our members pay 100% of the expense for training and incident response. Some of those things include training courses, seminar courses, uniforms, packs, radios, boats, dry suits, ropes, rigging, pagers, cellphones, workmans comp, insurance.

NC CERT is asking for donations from DTR members to handle some of our expenses for the next fiscal year. We're also in need of equipment and vehicles.

NC CERT is in need of a team van to use for communications and towing. The van would need to be a 3/4 ton van to handle our equipment trailer with air conditioning for the dogs. Dealers or folks who are willing to donate this van will be added as a permanent sponsor of our site, and your logo will appear on our vehicle in large letters.

Other equipment needed:

Zodiac type Boat - preferably 13 or 14ft rigid hole inflatable

Personal Watercraft trailer (2 position trailer for sonar search equipped watercraft etc.)

Cellphones or cellphone service for use on incidents only

LoranC model 104C SONAR / GPS receiver

Kesytrol weather instrument. Keystrol 3000 or 4000.
