FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 05-12-2026

Seat Belts Saves Lives
Buckle Up May 15 – May 31, and Every Day

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the O’Neill Police Department are urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 15-31, 2026.

Seat belt use should be an automatic habit for drivers and passengers alike, During the Click It or Ticket campaign, we’ll be working with our fellow law enforcement officers across local and state lines to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers. Not buckling up could mean a ticket, or worse, risking a life.

In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good — but it can be better. The other 8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives.
One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen at night (56% between the hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m.). Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.

We are asking friends and family to remind each other to buckle up in the front and back seats and to consider changing their habits if they don’t. Seat belts save lives, and everyone — front seat and back, child and adult — needs to remember to buckle up.

May 4, International Firefighters’ Day, is more than a date.
It is a shared global moment — a moment to pause:

• To remember and honour the lives of those who have passed.

It is a day that we stand united by a profound sense of remembrance and respect. This day provides us with space to reflect on courage, on service freely given without expectation, and on lives lost while protecting others. A life lived in service of others is never forgotten.

• To commemorate the courage and commitment of those who serve today.

A chance to recognise and thank firefighters who stand ready - between danger and the community. Their courage, commitment, and quiet strength protect us all.

• To educate and inspire those who will serve in the future.

Across generations and across nations, we educate and inspire those who will serve next, those who will step forward and who will train, serve, and protect. And those who will carry the legacy forward.

As May 4 is observed across the globe, remember:

Honour the past.
Thank the present.
Inspire the future.

This is not just a message for one day—
it is a responsibility we share, every day.

Meet Our Trucks! - Gizmo Edition (3/3)

Gizmo can handle the heavier combinations or trucks with a heavier axle weight. While it shines in recovery, we can tow you where you need to go!

Feel free to reach out about what our rotator can do for you! We're happy to chat about it!

Meet Our Trucks! - Gizmo Edition (2/3)

Gizmo is a little "fluffier" than our other wreckers. The 389 Peterbilt is outfitted with a Vulcan 950 body, letting us handle larger and heavier recoveries. In top photo, Daniel is using speadier bars to even the load for lifting and movement. These can also be used in situations that require more finesse, Iike preventing the tractor's roof from collapsing during recovery.
