RESCUE AIR BOAT CHALLENGE

The MFD is asking for the communities help to raise money to replace our aging and mechanically challenged Hovercraft with a more versatile and dependable air boat.

Our Hovercraft struggles mightily when ice conditions are not “perfect.” Shell ice, ice shoves and water to ice transitions pose major problems in rescue situations. Couple that with ongoing maintenance issues on the 23 year old machine and you have a craft that is ineffective when it is needed most.

Because of this we are trying to raise enough money for it’s replacement. If we can raise $155,000 by this fall, we can purchase a refurbished air boat. 

RESCUE AIR BOAT CHALLENGE 
•  Johnson Controls Contributions to the Marinette Fire Department (MFD)
•  Johnson Controls will contribute the profits from their two September 2019 ANSUL Fire  
   Schools with a minimum $10,000 guaranteed to the MFD for the purchase of an air boat.
•  Johnson Controls will also host MFD Firefighters to each of the three day ANSUL Fire 
   Schools in September.

CORPORATE CHALLENGE (June Only): If a company pledges or donates $5,000 or more to the MFD Air Boat purchase during the month of June 2019, Johnson Controls will provide them with one three-day enrollment in a 2019 ANSUL Fire School ($1850 value)!

Besides the June only corporate challenge, If any individual community member wishes to contribute towards the purchase of our air boat, please contact the MFD at (715) 732-5170.
