McQueary Henry Bowles Troy (MHBT) and Fireman's Fund recently awarded the Fairview (Tex.) Fire Department a $13,370 Heritage Rewards grant to purchase a specialized air compressor used to fill large air tanks that firefighters use to replenish their individual air tanks and to power highly sophisticated rescue equipment. The new compressor will also be used by four fire departments surrounding Fairview and will benefit over 125 firefighters in the area, along with the thousands of residents that they serve.
Prior to receiving the new air compressor, the department had to use the its only heavy rescue truck to transport tanks that needed to be refilled. With the new compressor, the heavy rescue truck will always have a full tank and will not have to be taken out of service to refill other equipment.
"This air compressor is a great addition to our fire department," said Firefighter Brian Gardner of the Fairview Fire Department.
In addition to serving as a firefighter and as an emergency medical technician at the Fairview Fire Department, Brian is a senior vice president of account coordination at MHBT. "It's especially meaningful to me since I not only work for MHBT, but I also have been associated with the fire and rescue service for over eight years, and stationed at the Fairview Fire Department for six months."
