According to the WFC, the funds are a portion of a grant the association received last fall from FM Global to help offset the challenges of this past year’s wildland fires across Washington.
Malden and Pine City were destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire in September, destroying homes, businesses, the towns’ fire station and fire engine.
In December, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources delivered a new fire engine to Malden to replace the one destroyed in the fire.
The grant funds from the WFC are intended to help provide the fire department with basic equipment and get the towns’ fire protection rebuilt as they work to recover from the destruction.
