Barbara Morrisey of Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. presented the Williamstown Forest Wardens on Saturday with a 'check' for their new rescue/utility vehicle.
 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Forest Wardens have a brand-new Polaris Ranger rescue vehicle and thermal-imaging camera thanks to a grant from the "Into the Fire" grant program.
Established in 2007, the grant program is administered by Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. in cooperation with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support fire services around the nation.
Funds are raised throught screenings and merchandise and DVD sales of "Into the Fire," a documentary on firefighting in the United States. More than 1,200 applications were received in the first round of grants and nearly $100,000 disbursed.
The Forest Wardens received the Ranger and the Bullard thermal-imaging camera earlier this fall; the Ranger has already been put to use in training for a lost-hiker scenario on Mount Greylock. The combined price for both items was $21,000.
Barbara Morrisey, grants manager for Fireman's Fund, was in Williamstown on Saturday to present a "check" for $18,600 to the Forest Wardens and emergency officials. |
