Melfort Fire Department receives grant from FM Global
The Melfort Fire Department is getting a bit more technological after receiving a grant from FM Global.
FM Global is a large insurance firm and gave the department US$3,700, about $5,000 in Canadian dollars. The grant money is earmarked for tools and/or technology that can go towards building fire safety pre-plans in the community according to Fire Chief Jason Everitt.
“Essentially, giving us the capacity to have better data at our fingertips so that we can respond safer and quicker,” Everitt said. “And therefore, reduce the loss potential of the occupancy that is suffering the emergency.”
