Flourtown Fire Company’s Chief George Wilmot III, President Tim Ernst along with the rest of the Flourtown crew accept a $20,000 grant check from local employees of Fireman’s Fund Insurance Nadine Eissler (Fort Washington) and Erin McCartney McKee (Flourtown). The grant from the insurer’s Fireman’s Fund Heritage program will be used to purchase new Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for the fire company’s new truck, Squad 6. Since 2004 FFIC has awarded millions of dollars in grants and donations to fire departments and burn prevention programs across the country. This year Flourtown was one of 17 employee-nominated fire departments to receive grants totaling $300,000.

Flourtown Fire Company would like to thank Erin McCartney McKee for her work in successfully nominating us.
