Words cannot describe our gratitude for the men and women with the Bagley, Jamaica, Perry, and Yale Volunteer Fire Departments and all those involved in helping out with the fire.

Their response time to our emergency was unbelievable. Our BTWI headquarters is located a minimum of 15 minutes away from the station, and they were at our location to assist within 20 minutes. That means in less than 5 minutes, these volunteers stopped what they were doing in their own lives and came to our aid.

They fought the fire for hours in 5-degree weather with 20 mph winds and had relentless determination to save whatever they could. In speaking with the YJB Fire Chief and the Captain of the Perry fire departments, they are in need of new radio's, hose accessories for their trucks, boots, and masks. To help, BTWI set up a specific account for Volunteer Fire Departments. The funds donated will be deposited into that account and checks will be cut directly to the Perry Fire Association, Bagley Volunteer Fire Association, Yale Fire Association, and Jamaica Emergency Services Association. These donations would go a long way in helping them get the equipment they need. Thank you!
