Efforts paying off to help fire department

Yahoo!News

The amount of new equipment being supplied to Neebing's municipal fire department keeps piling up thanks to ongoing fundraising efforts.

The Neebing Fire/Rescue Association said this week it has raised $45,000 for the department over the last two years.

Most recently, the association earmarked $11,500 worth of additional equipment for a rescue vehicle and $9,000 in training equipment for an emergency responder program, an association bulletin said.

It is also looking to raise $20,000-$25,000 to pay for a battery-powered "spreader" device that can assist firefighters when they are removing people from crashed vehicles.

The association depends on 50-50 draws and firewood raffles. More information is available online at neebingfirerescueassociation.com.
