The “Alarm for Life” program, promoted by the South Dundas Fire and Emergency Services, received some much appreciated financial support during the Saturday, October 4, 2014, open house at the Morrisburg fire hall.
Jake Lapierre, Union Gas utility service construction manager for Cornwall, was on hand to present South Dundas chief, Chris McDonough, and fire fighter, Matt Snyder, the fire prevention officer for South Dundas, the Morrisburg station, with a grant cheque for $2,500.
“Safety is a major priority for our company,” Lapierre said. “At Union Gas we are committed to the safety of our employees and communities. We show that by investing in local fire departments whose fire prevention, education and fire suppression programs help us all to stay safer.”
During this national Fire Prevention Week, October 5-11, chief McDonough explained that the generosity of Union Gas meant a lot to local safety programmes. “We will be using these funds from Union Gas for our smoke alarm program, for our carbon monoxide awareness program and for our door to door campaign to check smoke detectors in area homes.”
