Fire Department receives new equipment
New Providence Lions Club
Last month, in keeping with our mission of service to the community, and ongoing support of our local first responders, the New Providence Lions Club proudly donated funds to help the New Providence Fire Department purchase two FAST Rescue Boards.
Manufactured by FAST Rescue Solutions, Deputy Fire Chief Drew Vignali explained to the Lions Club that, “The FAST Rescue Board is not only new and innovative but increasingly one of the most versatile pieces of rescue equipment in the fire service. The board is engineered to allow members to quickly secure a victim and bring them out of a dangerous situation as rapidly as possible.”
Since 1902, the New Providence Volunteer Fire Department has provided 100% volunteer fire protection and rescue services to the Borough of New Providence. They offer an excellent junior program for high school age students, and are always looking for volunteer members. For those between the ages of 18-50, please visit their website at newprovidencefire.org to learn more about joining.
The New Providence Lions Club is a 501(c)3 organization, giving back to the community 100% of the profits raised. Organizations that benefit from our annual support include NP Recreation Dept., Fire Dept., Community Service Assoc., EMS Rescue Squad, Senior Citizens Center, PBA, NPHS Scholarships, NP Historical Society, Health Fair, NP Public Library, Drive for Autism, Soup Kitchen 411, Bonds of Courage and many more!
