Walnut Grove Fire Department announced it received a grant for $1000 from Bayer Fund, which will be used to purchase Firefighter PPE which consist of helmets, boots, structural firefighting coat and bunker pants.
“Firefighter safety is something I do not take lightly, this grant allows us to purchase updated critical PPE safety equipment” – Fire Chief Andrew Foster.
This grant will not only provide support to our organization, but also the community we serve by being able to have the latest technology in firefighter protective gear, therefore allowing Walnut Grove Fire Department to continue to provide our community the fire service it deserves. “Throughout the years, the grants given through Bayer Fund have helped strengthen our communities across the United States,” said Al Mitchell, President of Bayer Fund.
