I would like to take a moment to say 'Thank You' to Scott Ryno and RYNO Public Safety Solutions, for securing the Federal Grant allowing us to replace our 40+ year old hose and all of the nozzles. After being told multiple years that we were not a large enough department and we would need to combine our grant with multiple other departments, by our last grant writer, Scott stepped in and helped us with the grant. 

He was a pleasure to work with and he continually kept us updated on the progress. So, Thank You again Scott, for all you did and I am looking forward to working with you again in the future.

We are a small rural department in Potter County and 100% volunteer. Scott has always been complete with his grant writing to make the process easy for us from start to finish. He is passionate and honest with us. We would recommend Ryno Services to anyone who is looking.

Scott was great to work with. He went above and beyond to help us obtain the federal AFG grant. He quickly replied to all our questions. We will definitely use his services again.
