“Budget constraints make it difficult for many agencies to purchase
all of the equipment they need to do their jobs effectively and safely,” said
Scott Carroll, Program Director at Take1 Insurance. “We’re proud to help in such a tangible way
knowing so many communities will benefit from this donation. We also want to thank our clients, without
whom this large donation would not be possible. Take1 is here to help, whether it be helping our clients protect
their businesses or helping communities prevent and manage natural disasters.”
MRCA officials,
firefighters, and executives from Take1
Insurance and Fireman’s Fund came together for a special public event at
Fireman’s Fund headquarters in Burbank, CA.
“Communications on the
scene of a fire is key to effective firefighting and keeping firefighters
safe,” said Fire Management Officer David Updike. “With this equipment, we will
be better able to protect this unique, valuable asset to the community.”
The grant is part of a
nationwide philanthropic program funded by Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company.
The program is designed to provide needed equipment, training and educational
tools to local fire department and burn prevention organizations. Since 2004,
Fireman’s Fund has issued grants to more than 1,800 different organizations
totaling more than $29 million – including more than $8.5 million in
California. Independent insurance agencies and brokers that sell Fireman’s Fund
products, like Take 1 Insurance, are able to direct these grants to support the
fire service.
