WPFD has been blessed by generosity from community support. We were recently asked if there was anything specific that we needed for any of our stations to help make our jobs a little easier. We have 4 stations spread out across our large district. Usually, if we need one of ANYTHING, we need FOUR of them to equip each station. So, we developed a list of a few donation items that we would love to receive, if anyone were so inclined to help us out. Please let us know if you have any items on this list you would like to contribute. Thank you!
Items: (3) Three Digital Cameras- We need 3 more cameras to help us document fire scenes and collisions for our records.
Items: (4) Handheld Map-Based Global Positioning System (GPS) Devices. We don’t currently have any GPS units. A few of our folks have personal devices, but we dont have dedicated devices on our rescue vehicles. These will be used for Search and Rescue calls as well as providing better coordinates for helicopter medical evacuation needs.
Items: (3)Chest or Upright Freezers. Do you have a good working chest or upright freezer that you don’t use anymore? We have a need to store plenty of bagged ice for ice-chests/chilled water when we fight fires (anytime of year). If you have a good working chest or upright freezer (large or small) that you would consider donating to our department, let us know. We will come pick it up for free if we can use it! (some size restrictions apply depending on storage and use space)
Contact Lt. Jason Rogers at 501-519-2745 or email jmrogers411@aol.com if you have questions or wish to donate. Thanks!
