An industrial company made an effort to help small volunteer fire departments in Oklahoma even after some of its own equipment was damaged in a fire, koco.com reported.
Before Christmas, Dolese committed to helping smaller departments across the state. Last week, the company donated trucks to two volunteer fire departments, the report said.
The Granite Volunteer Fire Department and the Reagan Volunteer Fire Department each got a Peterbilt truck, the report said. The departments will convert the trucks into tankers to help supply water to firefighters on the job, according to the report.
Both departments will be able to use their trucks by the summer of 2023.
Dolese was originally established to furnish quarried rock for railroad construction, according to the company’s website. Dolese has since developed into a full-service construction supply and material operation, employing more than 1,000 people in Oklahoma.
