Former Fredericktown Firefighter Jamie Freer Donates Off-Road
Vehicle
The Fredericktown Community Fire District’s
fire-suppression fleet just grew by one, courtesy of a gift from
Jeremy Freer, a Fredericktown Fire alumnus and President and CEO of
Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance Services. He surprised the
district with a new Polaris Wildfire off-road rescue vehicle,
presented during a May 28 pancake breakfast at the firehouse.
Polaris Donated By Freer
“We certainly appreciate this generous act,” says
Fredericktown Fire Chief Scott Mast. “The Polaris will
greatly assist us in the control of grass and field fires, and its
smaller stature will give us access to areas that we previously
could not reach. Being able to carry a Stokes basket will enable us
to more effectively remove a patient from remote areas. We can also
use the Polaris as a first responder at local events. It really is
a significant asset to our station and to the people of Knox
County.”
A past supporter of Fredericktown Fire, Freer was pleased to
again contribute.
“Volunteering for Fredericktown Fire was the start of my
career in medical services, and I’ll always be proud to
belong to such an incredible group,” says Freer. “These
men and women put their lives on the line in service to others, and
the Polaris will be another resource to aid in their rescue
efforts.”
First organized in 1854, the all-volunteer Fredericktown Fire
District is today comprised of 27 men and women and serves more
than 8,700 citizens over a 115-square-mile radius in Central Ohio.
The department was honored as the 2010 Ohio Volunteer Fire
Department of the Year.
