Hazard’s VFW Post has donated $10,000 to the Hazard Fire Department for some water rescue equipment.
The Hazard Herald reports Post 7387 hosted a First Responders Cookout on Saturday, May 3 to honor local veterans and first responders and as part of the day presented the Department with the donation.
Hazard Fire Chief Robert Keith says they will be able to get another boat motor and some other gear which will give them three complete boats to use for water rescues.
And he says it was the VFW that helped with a donation for one of those other boats.
