Flathead Electric Cooperative’s Roundup for Safety program awarded $25,549 in grants Feb. 13 to support community safety projects proposed by local nonprofit organizations.
The Libby Volunteer Fire Department received $7,185 to fund extrication equipment.
Steve Lauer presented on behalf of the Libby VFD, noting, “The purchase of this equipment will ensure that Libby VFD is equipped with the best possible tools we can get to provide quicker and more efficient extrication tactics in the event of trapped citizens in a car crash. Any individual traveling through South Lincoln County involved in a crash would benefit from the availability of the extrication tool, along with any person that may experience lockout situations in a room or a collapse situation.”
