The New Carlisle Fire Department received the grant from FM Global, a commercial property insurer.
“We provide the grants as an investment in the community” said FM Global Senior Consultant Engineer Andrij Fitzsimmons. “If a fire were to destroy a local factory, it would be easier and cheaper for that factory to rebuild in Mexico. We want to keep the community together.”
“We’re more than happy to receive the grant” said Trusty, adding that he plans using the funds for fire prevention and education.
