The City of Douglas Fire Department received a $3,500 fire prevention grant from FM Global, one of the world's largest commercial property insurers.
Representatives from FM Global presented the grant award to Douglas Fire Chief Larry Wilson.
The department has purchased iPads to track fire information accurately within the department. They will also be used to assist with pre-fire planning to efficiently collect and track data related to community buildings.
"Through education efforts, we believe the majority of fires can be preventable," said Larry Wilson, Douglas Fire Chief. "With the additional financial support from FM Global, this grant will help our Fire Department provide accurate reporting and prevention awareness."
