The Beech Grove Volunteer Fire Department recently received a land donation for a new station as well as a $10,000 donation.
“BGVFD Chaplin Wayne Barber has remarked many times about how blessed our volunteer fire department is. When a need is defined, a solution seems to soon follow……” a Facebook post reads.
“Well, that happened again this morning.
“As we recently announced, BGVFD has acquired the land at the intersection of FM 2799 and CR 099 to build a fire station that will serve our response area, specifically the Dixie/Bevilport Communities, land donated by the Martin Dies family. We’ve cleared the land and have begun fundraising efforts.
“Today BGVFD President Jimmy Hensarling, Vice-President Chris Lanier, and Fire Chief James Gunter met with William Seale and accepted a $10,000 donation on behalf of the Seale family, Bevilport Limited Partnership, and Lucinda Smith Seale!
“The Seale family has been deeply rooted in the Bevilport Community since 1845, owning what many of you know as Ant Hill Farm, now known as Pine Hall, which is located on CR 101.
“What a great way to kick off our fundraising efforts. Every donation counts, no matter how big or small.
“Thank you to the Seale family, and everyone who has donated to date.”
