The Coffeyville Fire Department receives donation of blankets.

The 20 fleece tie blankets were handmade by local high school students. The students made the blankets as a part of the SkillsUSA program for a community service project sponsored by Beth Conrad and others.

These blankets can be given to comfort a child after a fire or auto accident to help with anxiety from the tragedy. Captain Pete Caresio says on behalf of CFD, he wants to thank the students who participate in this program and chose this for their community service project.
