New Utility Placed In-Service

Good evening-

I am pleased to report that the new utility pick-up has been placed in service. It is a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. Like the last unit, it does have a plow that will be attached when required. 

The old utillity (Ford F350) has been removed from service and should not be utilized. 

A few updates on the new utility: 

• Push button start and key fob similar to the Durango. 
• Hand-held controller for emergency warning devices:
• Red circle- Press the 3 button for full emergency lighting when the vehicle is in Drive. A slower pattern will show in park. 
• Green circle- Siren options
• Yellow circles- For directional usage via the rear of the light bar, press the directional arrow  button (lower button) to scroll through the options. The options will be visible on the controller in the upper circle. 
• The shore line plug is in the lower part of the rear bumper on the driver's side. Please ensure the unit is plugged in, and the extension cord is plugged into the light pole when not driving. 

Finally, just like the old utility, speed and location are monitored. The vehicle should continue to be signed out via QR code on the book in the front seat for use. 

** The bed will be lined at a later date, please limite scratching it. 

Thanks,
