WAUZEKA - The Wauzeka Fire Department recently received two donations to support acquisition of needed equipment.
The first donation came from Bard Materials. The $1,490 donation came through the company’s ‘Engine One’ grant program, and will be used to upgrade the department’s turnout gear.


The second donation can from Justina and John Lalande, and was made available by John’s employer, Hilcorp. A portion of the $9,200 donation will go to the fire department for equipment and personal protective equipment.
The Lalandes live in Boydtown, and decided to split their donation between a local fire department and the Crawford County Technical Rescue Team. The rescue team will use the funds to purchase additional equipment.
