MCGPA donated $5,000 to five rural Oklahoma fire departments. They were chosen due to their proximity to significant oil and gas activity, and the energy companies comprising the chapter organization spend a significant amount of time in these parts of Oklahoma. Several other $1,000 donations have gone to rural fire districts to assist with preparedness for response to local fire events.

  • The Cashion Fire Department plans to use its $5,000 donation for 4-way gas monitors and a foam inductor system.
  • The Fairview Fire Department plans to use its $5,000 donation for foam and miscellaneous equipment and supplies.
  • The Covington Fire Department plans to use its $5,000 donation for a Christmas dinner for the firemen, hosting a fire safety day at school, donations to people that lost belongings in a fire, a fire truck for a tech center, and supplies and equipment not covered through its operating budget.
  • The Rush Springs Fire Department plans to use its $5,000 donation for three ventilation fans and five sets of full bunker gear.
  • The Taloga Fire Department plans to use its $5,000 to replenish supplies after a devastating wildfire season.
