Vehicle donation program
LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS ONLY:
The PRECorp Foundation will solicit applications from its communities and their volunteer fire departments who have an immediate need for a response vehicle. The intent of the program is to hold back an occasional vehicle to satisfy these needs for the benefit of our member/owners. PRECorp may make an annual offering to one northeast Wyoming VFD who expresses a need in an application to the PRECorp Foundation. The process details are still being worked out, but the intent is that over time for each department to have a chance at a truck. Departments will not be allowed to receive a second truck until all other local departments have had a chance. The intent of the program is for the recipient to demonstrate a need for and use the truck in its emergency response fleet.
