Baldwin fire department gets equipment grant
Baldwin fire department’s first responders have new resources to help with oil spills and hazardous material releases.
Plains All American Pipeline L.P. has awarded the Baldwin Volunteer Fire Department with its Plains First Responder grant.
With the many pipelines, tankers and railcars that cross our jurisdiction, grants like this are huge. “We love to partner with our local industry, like Plains All American Pipeline,” said Fire Chief Lance Mire. “It’s those kind of partnerships that enhance our response capabilities and really prove that it’s nothing like working together before a disaster.”
The grant will be used to buy several key pieces of hazardous material response items such as: oil spill boom, containment drums, personal air monitoring device, absorbent material, transport trailer and other essential items.
