From Tim Olk:

The new Mess Canteen M-5, stationed at the Barrington Countryside FPD station on Pepper Road, is a rebranded version of the former Woodstock FRD unit. One of the standout features of this new unit is its slide-out trays for supplies during deployments, which eliminates the need for folding tables to be set up alongside the squad. This upgrade enhances efficiency and makes on-site support faster and more organized.

It's amazing to see how old equipment can find new purpose in the field. The transformation of the Woodstock FRD into the M-5 shows how communities adapt and improve emergency services over time. With these new features, the canteen unit is not only more functional but also more ready to support first responders when they need it most.
