Arctic Directory: Rain for Rent response to Red River flood

Rain for Rent said March 27 that it answered the governor of North Dakota’s request for eight industrial power prime pumps to be flown into Fargo, N.D., from a Rain for Rent branch in Wyoming. The Rain for Rent crew, National Guard and others were scheduled to work in 24-hour shifts installing the pumping system to help save the city from potential destruction. Rain for Rent’s Minneapolis branch personnel have been in Fargo since March 9, participating in flood preparedness meetings with USACE, FEMA, state, county and the City of Fargo’s Director of Public Works. The original pump order placed two weeks ago was for seven pumps, currently there are 38 pumps in Fargo capable of moving 150,000 gallons per minute. For more information visit www.rainforrent.com.
