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.

“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.”
The Evansville Fire Department invited ALCIVIA’s CEO and President Jim Dell to the fire station to see how the extrication equipment works and learn more about how it benefits the community.
“This is one more way we at ALCIVIA can demonstrate our commitment to strengthening the communities we serve,” Dell said. “Knowing our investment led to the purchase of tools that can help local firefighters save lives leaves a meaningful impact.”
“We are incredibly thankful to ALCIVIA and their partners for making this possible,” said Chief Fahey.
