Entergy Charitable Foundation recently donated $998 to Mount Vernon Volunteer Fire Department to provide firefighting foam, increasing the amount of foam delivered, and applying safety measures to reduce back strain.
“Having that new building on Main Street is a beacon that Mount Vernon is still growing, that Mount Vernon is still a great community,” said Mount Vernon Mayor Weston Frank.
The Mount Vernon Volunteer Fire Department has received equipment made possible by a grant from the Union Pacific Foundation Community Ties Giving Program.
