(KAIR)--A grant intended to prevent fires.
That was awarded to the Netawaka Rural Fire District #6 from FM Global, a large commercial property insurance firm.
According to a press release, the $1,200 grant will be used to assist with fire investigation and prevention activities in the community.
The grant was presented in May to Fire Chief Jonathan Edwards at the Netawaka Fire Department.
Edwards said, “This is the second grant we’ve received from FM Global through their fire prevention grant program, it really makes a difference for small departments to afford equipment and materials we might otherwise do without. We appreciate the additional support.”
The release says fire-related incidents continues to be the leading cause of property damage worldwide. For that reason, FM Global contributes millions of dollars to fire prevention grants around the globe.
