First Bank of Sea Isle City presented the members of Sea Isle City’s Volunteer Fire Department with a check for $10,000 Jan. 22, which will pay for safety equipment for each of the resort’s firefighters.
“This money pays for our new advanced technology helmets, which have improved eye and head protection, and will better protect our firefighters,” said Chief John Mazurie.
According to Mazurie, the new helmets cost over $300 each, and the average cost to purchase a complete set of safety equipment for one firefighter (without an air-pack system) is approximately $5,000.
“The helmets are state-of-the-art, and are obviously very expensive personal protection equipment,” added Mazurie. “We are very grateful to 1st Bank of Sea Isle City for this generous donation.”
“One of the greatest advantages of being a community bank is that when we hear of a need, we can respond,” said Larry Schmidt, president and chief executive officer, 1st Bank of Sea Isle City. “Our bank was honored to purchase new protective equipment to help safeguard our courageous volunteers.”
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
