CFS Foundations donates funds for Grain Bin Rescue Equipment to Minnesota Lake Fire Department.

Yesterday, a small group from CFS met up with the Minnesota Lake Fire Chief to deliver funds that were requested to help purchase grain bin rescue equipment that will benefit the Minnesota Lake community and several neighboring communities.

“As a cooperative business, CFS is committed to our communities and appreciates the volunteers that serve on our local fire and rescue departments,” says Jeff Eckhardt, CFS Board Director. “This contribution was made in an effort to ensure our fire and rescue departments are equipped to handle any emergency that may arise, including grain entrapment and rescue.”
