In Your Community: Austin Masons donated to area fire departments

Published 5:37 pm Friday, May 24, 2024

: Fidelity Lodge recently donated Fire Suppression Devices to the fire departments in Rose Creek, Adams and LeRoy. These devices can dramatically reduce fire and water damage in enclosures like houses, garages, stores, sheds, etc. They are lightweight and easy to deploy. Just “pull the pin and throw it in.” Within 35 seconds, the fire is suppressed, and the temperature inside the enclosure drops over 1,000 degrees, making it a safer environment to extract trapped firefighters or citizens. These devices save lives, and the Masonic Lodge is proud to donated them to help make our communities safer. Shown at the presentation are Masonic Lodge members Brad Stout, Otto Volkert, Neil Hanson and Tom Soltau. Representing the fire departments are Caleb Hovde (LeRoy); Al Mullenbach (Rose Creek); and Dillion Heimer (Adams). Photo provided
