Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to award $1,000 grants to all 63 fire departments that protect and serve communities in the cooperative’s 14-county service area. These grants are in recognition for the outstanding job the departments have done this summer.
“Fire departments have had their resources tested and stretched by this year’s extreme heat and drought conditions,” said Matt Bentke, Bluebonnet’s general manager. “We have wonderful relationships with these departments. Our line workers and control center operators work closely with firefighters and first responders during emergency events, which is critically important to keeping people safe.”
This hot, dry summer has taken a toll on fire departments’ equipment and financial resources. These grants will help the fire departments, firefighters and first responders who gave so much of their time and talent.
“Bluebonnet is proud to support our area fire departments who truly do an outstanding job around the clock, every day,” said Ben Flencher, Bluebonnet’s board chairman. “These departments have done an outstanding job protecting our homes, businesses and property.”
