Thank you to the National Volunteer Fire Council and Anheuser-Busch for the pallet donation of water to our department.

This water is a vital necessity and will be used during trainings, calls, and will also be distributed to mutual aid departments to help keep them hydrated.

Anheuser-Busch partnered with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) in 2019 to create the Emergency Drinking Water for Wildland Firefighters program. Keeping firefighters hydrated during long incidents or disasters such as wildfires is a critical need for fire departments. Anheuser-Busch will donate 1.5 million cans of clean drinking water in 2026 to prepare local volunteer firefighters with vital resources ahead of the annual summer wildfire season.
