Laurel Fire Rescue Receives $20,000 Grant for Equipment Purchase
Laurel Fire Rescue has secured a $20,000 grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation to enhance firefighter safety. This funding is part of a larger initiative where the Foundation awarded a total of $1.2 million to volunteer fire departments across Montana.

In mid-summer 2026, Laurel Fire Rescue applied for a grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation to acquire safety gear and equipment. The Foundation, focusing on volunteer fire departments this year, initially budgeted $750,000 but awarded $1.2 million across 84 grants.
Bill McGladdery, Director of Corporate Communications for Town Pump, presented the check on August 25, 2026, emphasizing the importance of community safety. The funding will directly support firefighter safety enhancements, which may improve operational effectiveness during emergencies.
