   Miami Township Fire Dept. Receives Donation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIAMI TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT AWARDED DONATION FOR NEW EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT Township Nominated by Local Employee of Acordia Insurance Brokerage Miami Twp, OH., August 23, 2006 - Acordia, a Wells Fargo Company and Fireman's Fund Insurance Company (Fireman's Fund) have made a $1,000 donation to the Miami Township Fire Department. The donation will fund, in par-t, the purchase of a rabbit tool, crash kit and tiger saw. This equipment will be immediately put to use within the department for vehicle and forcible entry emergencies to search for trapped occupants. In addition, crash kits are used to support quick medical aid at the scene of an accident before medical help arrives. "'We were excited to hear that we had received this contribution to help us purchase new emergency response tools for our department," said Deputy Chief Steve Ober of the Miami Township Fire Department. "Because of all the demands placed on a fire department's budget, sometimes we just don't have enough money to replace old or add new equipment." The award was given as part of a recent Fireman's Fund Insurance Company meeting that was designed to highlight both the company's insurance products and the Fireman's Fund Heritagesm program through which Fireman's Fund awards millions of dollars in grants each year to fire departments across the country for needed equipment, firefighter training and community education programs. One lucky attendee from the meeting was given the opportunity to nominate a fire department to receive a $1,000 donation to underscore the program's importance in Ohio. Judi Botkins of Acordia was the winner of the drawing, and directed the donation to the Miami Township Fire Department. "Our local firefighters provide a tremendous service to the community and I am proud to show our support to these dedicated men and women," said Judi Botkins, with Acordia Cincinnati office. "We are honored to award this donation to our local fire department and help make our community safer." Miami Township Fire Dept. Receives FEMA Grant
