(KALONA, IA) – Volunteer firefighters in Kalona, IA are raising funds to purchase a thermal image camera and are one-step closer thanks to a $1,000 grant from Southeast Iowa Insurance in Wellman and their partner, MutualAid eXchange (“MAX”) Insurance.
Shawn Powell heads Southeast Iowa Insurance. He reached out to the Kalona Volunteer Fire Department after learning about the MAX Agent Community Grant Program. “I have attended annual pancake fundraisers and made contributions for special needs of the department,” Powell said. “A thermal image camera would help our firefighters be able to see through a smoke-filled room, locate hot spots and help save lives. We as a community are blessed to have such a wonderful department and are pleased to partner with MAX Insurance® and its community grant program to make this gift possible.”
