Grant Programs Make Positive Impact on Area Fire Departments, Schools


Being a good neighbor is im-


portant, especially when times are tough. Each year, VVEC awards grants


to area fire departments and schools to help them purchase much-needed equipment. This year six area fire depart-


ments and four area schools are recipients of the Rural Fire Depart- ment, and Adopt-A-School grants. With funding through the Rural


Fire Department grant program Col- linsville Rural Fire Department will purchase two Motorola hand-held radios; Barnsdall Rural Fire De- partment will purchase a 250cc HP Briggs & Stratton fire pump, along with paint for a used semi-truck and tanker; Owens & Company Fire Service can buy 15 mobile radios, 15 hand-held radios, and 20 pagers; Boulanger Rural Fire Department can purchase seven Bullard safety helmets with face shields and flame retardant liners; Wann Fire Depart- ment will purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED); and the Rock Fire Department can buy six smoke masks. Through the Adopt-A-School


program Collinsville High School’s science teacher Janell Lundgren can purchase two Toshiba notebook computers for her physical science and biology classes; Caney Valley

Elementary School will be able to mud, tape and texture walls in the cafeteria, along with buying painting equipment and trim for the windows and doors; Oologah High School can buy 10 FLIP Mino HD video cameras for the multi-media and desktop publishing classes; and Collinsville’s Wilson Elementary School students will enjoy some new playground equipment next year.


“Through these two programs we


are able to help members feel secure that their are fire departments have the necessary equipment to protect their lives and property, and to help our schools educate and prepare our young people to lead productive lives,” says VVEC General Manager Al- ice Houston. “Improving the lives of our members, and the communities they live in, is an integral part of our cooperative mission.”
