Firefighters in Wilson County have a new way to stay hydrated during wildfires and long incidents in extreme heat.

 

Wilson County Rural Fire has received a pallet of water through the Anheuser Busch Emergency Drinking Water for Wildland Firefighters program, coordinated by the National Volunteer Fire Council. The department is also thanking Best Beverage Sales, Inc., for taking the time to deliver the donation.

 

Other nearby department that have received water since the program began include the Caney Fire Department, Elk County Rural Fire, Edna Fire Department, Saint Paul Mission Township Fire Department, the Girard Fire Department, Galena Fire, the Commerce Fire Department, Welch Fire and the Dewey Fire Department.
