It's National Hospital Week- a time to highlight all people in them who are working tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
On Thursday, the Skowhegan Fire department decided to give back to local hospital personnel in a big way.
The Skowhegan Professional Firefighters are no strangers to giving back to their community.
They do so every year at Christmastime. However, with the pandemic, full-time firefighters from the department decided to step up and help their frontline heroes at nearby Redington-Fairview General Hospital.
“We wanted to say “thank you” to the ER and EMS staff at Redington-Fairview by doing a giveaway by and just saying “thank you” just as they leave and come to work," explained Ty Strout, firefighter for the Skowhegan Fire Department.
