HopeHose
Humane Co. #1 in Bordentown,
NJ was recently presented with a refurbished Panasonic Toughbook CF-19.
The receipt of this Toughbook was through a need-based program offered
on a quarterly basis by Bob Johnson’s Computer Stuff in Smyrna, DE.
Chief Pete Sedor submitted a short essay
expressing the need of a Toughbook for his department. Hope Hose Humane Co. #1 was determined
as the recipient for this quarter based on the fact that they are a volunteer
department that is funded primarily through donations and a yearly allotment
from the city of Bordentown. These funds are utilized for mandatory
purchases such as training, maintenance, and yearly testing of equipment,
leaving them little available for additional items to better serve their
community.
The addition of
this Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 will
have a significant impact on their department and their service to the
community. The computer can be utilized to store all of the building
preplans and emergency contact information that is necessary to have on hand
during an emergency response. At Hope Hose Humane Co. #1, this
information is currently being stored in bulky binders that are taking up valuable
space in the cabs of their emergency vehicles. According to Chief Pete
Sedor, “A Toughbook would immensely help with space, organization and expansion
of valuable information needed at emergency scenes.”
