Future Services
Check out our future plans! These will offered in the future when time, budget, and logistics allow.
Back-up Truck
When an agency relies on a single vehicle, a trip to the shop will shut down any response. We hope to help with a spare truck, free of charge, until their unit is back in-service.
Mental Health
We plan to help expand access to mental health services that are equipped and trained for the specific needs of emergency responders.
Volunteer Campaign
Produce and fund targeted multimedia campaigns to raise awareness of volunteer shortages while attracting new volunteers.
