Subject: in need of old School bus

Scott Beecher from Ward Diesel and Res- Q-Jack wanted to see if any school districts had any full size bus laying around that was not being used anymore.  He had told me that it did not have to run, but did have to have a body on it.   They would like to have one for training purposes for fire fighters.  They have a big seminar for fire fighters from all over, that they give training on for extraction and stabilization for rescues.  They have a seminar for Fire Fighters and Rescue personnel on the 10th and 11th of September in Horseheads N.Y.  If you are a member of a fire Department, and would like to come, please contact him as well.  We all know that School Buses are the safest thing on the road, but there might come a day where a little training could help you save a child’s life.  This seminar also covers any type of vehicle, but the school bus is the one that they do not have. Please contact him with any info, so he can get the bus there ASAP.  Even if your school does not have one, there might be someone you know that has one out in the field.  Please get a hold of them and Scott. If you know anyone that might have one please contact him at 607-796-0149, and ask for Scott Beecher. Thanks again Jason
