The Trillium ROOTS Community Fund has contributed $6,000 to Mapleton Fire Rescue to assist with purchase of a battery operated cutter/spreader to upgrade existing extrication tools.
Through the fund, Trillium Mutual Insurance Company provides financial assistance and support in rural communities in which its policyholders live and serve.
The company announced in early 2015 that up to $240,000 would be available for a number of capital projects, with a focus in the areas of health care, recreation and wellness, emergency response, agricultural and eco/sustainability.
The deadline for the next intake of applications is Feb. 3.
