Department Receives Donated Tools

Recently Central Alexander Fire Department received 4 sets of brand new donated DeWalt tool sets from the Stanley Black & Decker Corporation. A donated set of tools consist of the following: tool bag, 1 charger, 2 (20 volt batteries), impact driver, cordless drill, cordless sawsall, & battery. One set each will go on our front line trucks, to aide in firefighter efforts.

We would like to thank the Stanley Black & Decker Corporation for the generous donation to our community and department.

Department Award State Matching Grant

This past spring Central Alexander Fire Department was awarded a state matching in grant in the total of little over $32,000.00. Half is paid by the department other half paid for by the state. This $32,000.00 was used to purchase 10 new sets of turnout gear.

Those that do not know, should realize that turnout gear consist of the following: helmet, gloves, hood, coat, pants, suspenders, boots. All that together totals around $3,200 per set.

We want to thank those that prepared the grant, as well as the state of North Carolina, for awarding us the grant.
