This program started with an idea turned conversation turned action.
A generous donation from Hillsdale Hospital kicked us off and the Hillsdale County Fire Association donated their old air trailer which we refurbished for our use.
In August 2021, we started this with a cooler and a ton of Gatorade/water.
And since then, we’ve continued to expand, piece by piece as donations have allowed.
As the year passed, we listened to our firemen and first responders and vastly expanded to add two commercial canopy systems, industrial misting fans, a generator to power our equipment, ice packs, a table, chairs and more.
Tomorrow, we’ll be adding a small chest freezer to the trailer unit to expand the amount of ice we have on hand and cut out the need to stop for ice on our way to an incident.
None of this would be possible without the generous donations from this community’s businesses and residents alike.
Thank you all!
