CalSurance® and Fireman’s Fund Award Grant to High Point, North Carolina Fire Department

CalSurance® and Fireman’s Fund are happy to have awarded the High Point Fire Department with an $18,758 grant through the Fireman’s Fund Heritage Award Grant program. CalSurance Associates and Fireman’s Fund have had a valued relationship with Smart Choice® who played an important role in recommending the High Point Department for this grant. The funds were used to purchase 8 fully outfitted bikes for the High Point Fire Department Bike Team. The new bikes carry the same equipment found on fire trucks, including AEDs, oxygen and other life support tools. With these new bikes, firefighters will have better mobility and patrol capability during High Point’s large scale events, including the International Home Furnishings Market.
