Help Broomall, Newtown Square Fire Companies Win $25,000
All you have to do is enter the fire companies' ZIP codes and share a story about why they deserve the $25,000 grant.
Nest and the Leary Firefighters Foundation are offering two fire companies the chance to win $25,000. You can help the companies in the Broomall and Newtown Square fire companies win that prize in a few simple steps.
The fire company will have a chance to win the $25,000 grant by having members of the community fill out an online form nominating the fire company.
"Firefighters put themselves on the front lines every day – protecting our communities and acting as first responders in emergencies," the Thank Your Local Fire Department webpage says. "To support these heroes, Nest and the Leary Firefighters Foundation have teamed up to provide two fire departments each the opportunity to receive a $25,000 grant for new technology and equipment."
