Evansville Fire Department Receives Potentially Life-Saving Equipment Thanks to ALCIVIA and Partners

Posted on

COTTAGE GROVE, WI (March 26, 2025) -The Evansville Fire Department recently received critical new extrication equipment which could help firefighters save more lives, thanks in part to a $9,000 donation from ALCIVIA and partners, Land O’Lakes, and CHS. The extrication equipment is a significant upgrade to the fire department’s rescue tools, most of which are almost 25 years old.

The new extrication tools are battery-powered, which makes them portable, allowing firefighters to reach remote locations they couldn’t get to before such as fields, confined spaces, and buildings. The tools are also more powerful, helping first responders work faster and more effectively in critical rescue situations.
 

“These tools definitely improve our efficiencies when lives hang in the balance and seconds make a huge difference,” said Evansville Fire Chief Bob Fahey. “I can now assure citizens in and traveling through our coverage area the Evansville Fire District has the latest extrication tool technology. This makes our job easier knowing we have better tools to help save lives. We are incredibly thankful to ALCIVIA and their partners for making this possible,” said Chief Fahey.
