New Firefighting Gear Keeps Clark County Heroes Safe

The Clark County Volunteer Fire Department was recently able to purchase several new complete sets of turnout gear to replace aging gear that no longer met NFPA safety standards. This purchase prevented a significant financial challenge, with the rural fire department serving a large geographic area with very limited financial resources made this purchase. A grant from CHC Foundation, however, made this purchase possible. 

Sheree Farr, Clark County Emergency Manager, shared her thoughts about the impact of this grant: "Our volunteers give their time and put themselves at risk to protect our community, and making sure they have the proper gear is one of the most important ways we can support them. As a rural volunteer department, we depend on the dedication of our members, and this investment helps ensure they have the equipment they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. Most important, it shows our volunteers that their safety matters and that we appreciate everything do they for Clark County." 

We DO appreciate you, Clark County volunteer firefighters! Keep up the good work.
