Napa Auto Parts will be supplying the parts for the repair. Meanwhile, Wolverine Workwear will help by providing funding. O’Neill’s automotive is lending their expertise to repair the truck. O’Neill’s Automotive adds that their happy to provide the repairs so the PGHRHS can get back to saving lives.

“You definitely want somebody with the right skillset when working on that kind of engine,” explains Regan O’Neill, the owner of O’Neill’s Automotive. “It’s a very common repair. I’m actually Ford certified as a power stroke technician and I’ve done many of them.”

The donations from the GoFundMe have been refunded but the volunteer organization is always accepting donations.

“We received lower funding from the government, and we’re expected to be out of this building by next year. The property owner decided to sell the property. So, it’s been a lot of hardships this year, and it just it’s nice to see the community come together and give some hope with this vehicle being down and people giving money for that,”

Rescue 12 is expected to be in service early December. Just in time for the unfortunately busy holiday season.
