The St. Charles IA Fire & Rescue received a $4,214.29 check to assist with the purchase a new extraction hydraulic ram. The check was presented by GMCCF Board Member Becky Knight (middle) and accepted by (left to right) Steve Downs, Travis Egli, and Rick Schaffer.

The second photo shows the older equipment being replaced. The previous ram operated using the fire truck's hydraulic system, while the new unit is battery-powered, providing greater mobility and flexibility during rescue operations.

Our volunteer fire departments play a critical role in keeping our communities safe. Supporting them can take many forms, including volunteering your time, helping with station upkeep and cleaning, providing snacks and meals during training or emergency responses, or considering joining the department as a volunteer. Every contribution helps strengthen these essential community services.
