Thanks also to the Daniel Foundation for accepting a grant proposal from Straight Mountain Fire Department, and working with us and the Cawaco team to get it processed and accepted. Our service area is located in the Straight Mountain area of Blount County, Alabama, and is primarily a mountainous area with many dangerous trails and pitfalls. We have had numerous situations where we had to rely on sister stations to help with rope rescues where we did not have equipment to properly respond. This grant, along with proper training which we have already started, will allow us to respond in a timely manner and help save lives.
