Firefighter Fund
The Firefighter's Fund was set up to assist the firefighters and their immediate families. From time to time, the Firefighter's Fund has been needed to assist firefighters. Since the Okolona Fire Protection District is a tax-based department, we are unable to spend money in the budget for anything other than day-to-day fire protection and operation.
Here is an example of what the Firefighter's Fund has done in the past for a fellow firefighter in need:
While off duty, a volunteer firefigher was injured and unable to return to work. Due to the lack of medical insurance provided by the volunteer firefighter's employer, he became late on many of his bills. Unanimously, the Firefighter's Fund held a general meeting and, with no opposition, offered to assist in paying some of his bills.
Not only does the Firefighter's Fund assist in a time of need, but it also assists in team building with the members of firefighters' families, such as participating with assistance in Christmas Banquets and Halloween Parties for the firefighter's kids.
