Corning Rotary Gives Grant to Corning Fire District
Corning Rotary recently donated $5,000 to the Corning Joint Fire District. Rotarian Jenniffer Mullen and President Stuart Sammis presented the check to Chief Brad Davies of the Corning City Fire Department, Chief Peter Bierwieler of the Forest View Gang Mills Fire Department and Chief Mike Brenning of the Corning Joint Fire District.
The grant will be used to purchase smoke detectors targeted toward low income homeowners who find the cost of the new 10-year smoke detectors prohibitive. The Joint Fire Districts will be working with local and regional school and support agencies to identify such homeowners. The smoke detectors will be installed by members of the Fire Departments to ensure safe placements, as allowed. Installation instructions will also be given to assist homeowners who want to do the installations themselves.
This grant is awarded as part of the club’s Community Health and Safety initiative. Other core focus areas include literacy, youth leadership, hunger, environment and international efforts. This is the first partnership and grant between Corning Rotary and the Joint Fire District.
