The donation was given in support of the department’s fundraising efforts to purchase a four-wheel-drive universal transport vehicle.

The UTV, a specialized vehicle, is to be used during inclement weather or other extreme rescue situations.

“This vehicle is made to be used in situations that make it difficult for our responders to get to those who are hurt or in need,” said Harriman Fire Chief Brad Goss.

“It will be installed with a skid unit for transporting injured patients during those emergency situations,” he continued.

The department has raised $8,500 through private donations, organization donations and other fundraising efforts.

The goal is to raise $12,000 to purchase the vehicle.

To help with this endeavor, make checks payable in the care of the city of Harriman, P.O. Box 433, Harriman, TN 37748.
