‘Hefty Henry’ Gets Christened

NM MBFD new ldr trk-02 NM MBFD new ldr trk-03Morro Bay officials gathered May 26 to honor and thank the late Bertha Shultz and her family for the more than $1.05 million donation she left to the fire department, allowing the purchase of a 75-foot ladder truck and vital new breathing apparatus. The one request Mrs. Shultz made was to have the truck named after her father, Henry B. Humboldt, and so the new MBFD Truck 5341, expected to be in service through 2045, was officially christened “Hefty Henry.” Photo by Neil Farrell
