My friend Fire Chief Ashley Dent in Madray Springs, Georgia, needs all of our VOTES to help to win a contest that runs through August 22, 2014.
Madray Springs is one of the volunteer fire departments that I am close to and donate funds to. This is one of the fire chiefs that drove down to visit me last year. In the past 6 weeks, I have spent several days at their department. You can read about my visit to their department and the structure fire I went to while I was there in the post below this one.
Chief Dent is trying to win a contest that will get the Madray Springs Volunteer Fire Department a $12,000 MSA thermal imager to help the fire department find trapped occupants in thick smoke where they normally can only see a few feet.
After being at a structure fire last week and seeing how thick the smoke was coming out of the house, I can see how this piece of equipment can locate someone and hopefully save their life.
Knowing Ashley and his department, if they win, and other departments need to borrow this piece of equipment, they will lend it to other departments, or bring it to where it’s needed.
