FOUNDATION FUNDING
Hermantown Volunteer Fire Department
Receives a $1000 Minnesota Power Foundation Award
The Hermantown Volunteer Fire Department recently received a $1000 check from the Minnesota Power Foundation for the purchase of new Pagers or a Mobile Data console. Dan Leslie, representing the Minnesota Power Foundation, presented the donation to HVFD last week. Through the Pager project the HVFD is able to purchase two new Narrow Band Pagers, funded by the Minnesota Power Foundation, to replace nonfunctional communication equipment. The new pagers also comply with a new federal mandate for all public safety departments to be transitioned to the 800 mhz system by 2013. The department will continue to research grant monies to help with the changeover.
Thank you for your support of the HVFD and the Communities we serve..
