Marshall
County Fire No. 7 purchased two new radios and serviced six others. The renewed
transmission equipment helps the department effectively respond to medical
calls and accidents.
Besides
grant funds – including a Working Here Fund grant from Frontier Farm
Credit – and donations, the only funds the department receives are based on tax
income.
Blue
Rapids Rural Fire, a part of Marshall County Fire No. 7, is a volunteer
department that protects and serves Marshall County, including the city of Blue
Rapids and the surrounding rural area.
“Blue Rapids Fire will benefit, but the people and property we are trying to protect will also benefit from this upgrade.”
– Jason Hemry, Marshall County Fire No. 7 Chief
