Elburn & Countryside F.P.D. Launches
Campaign to acquire Rescue Equipment
Tools which will enable
firefighters to save more lives and property
Racing against time,
Elburn & Countryside F.P.D. Firefighters have searched burning
buildings on their hands and knees – feeling their way through blinding smoke to
find unconscious victims. New technology enables us to see through
smoke, cutting search time by more than 75%. Thermal imaging cameras have helped
firefighters find unconscious victims in smoke-filled rooms, pinpoint the
sources of fires, and detect structural dangers before they cause injuries
and deaths.
The Elburn & Countryside
F.P.D. has launched community-wide fundraisers in the past to purchase thermal
imagers, extrication jacks, reciprocating saws, multi-gas detectors and
many other life saving items.
This
fundraiser initiative is for the continued acquisition and replacement of life
saving tools through your donations. For every $6.00 of your donation we
will issue a "Support your Firefighters" magnetic ribbon.
We accept personal
checks and money orders. Money orders can be obtained at your local post
office, convenience stores or currency exchanges.
Please print the
donation form, fill out the information and send the form along with your
check or money order. We do require a 10 day clearance period for
personal checks. The ribbons are mailed to you via United States Postal
Service and the postage is included in your donation.
