Ask most truck pullers, and they will tell you that their pulling passion has been in place for most of their lives. Such is not the case with Minnesota State and NTPA Regional four-wheel drive truck puller Carol (Line) Suchy. That would all change when she met her future husband Bill in 1992. One day that summer, Bill asked Carol if she would like to compete in one of his trucks, and Carol won the initial pull. She ran some more pulls with the truck that season and said she gained a lot of confidence. She was hooked!

On Sunday, August 27, the Clarissa Fire Department was called by the state of South Dakota to help with a fire. The department has been on the list three times, but this was the first time they were called to help. This was also the first time they were asked to drive from one state to another with their own fire truck. The fire was located near Custer and Hill City, South Dakota. The main reason for the call was to protect the two cities and the historic monuments in the area. The firefighters that were able to go were Fire Chief Bob Cuchna, Lelan Adamietz and Jerry Schnettler.
