Safety Officer Lettie Marcum from the Hitchins Volunteer Fire Department recently applied for a grant through TC Energy’s Build Strong program, which was awarded in the amount of $5,000 to the department. The funding was utilized to purchase a new car hauler for their side-by-side vehicle, facilitating transportation for calls requiring the side-by-side. Additionally, the funds was used to purchase three brand new Kenwood portable radios enhancing communication abilities to help better serve the fire dept district, which covers Willard, Hitchins and Denton.
Marcum and the department wished to extend a thank you to TC Energy, “for being a steadfast supporter of first responders.”
“Companies like (TC Energy) play a vital role in maintaining public safety by awarding grants that enable the purchase of essential equipment,” Marcum said.
