Supporting TX Volunteer Firefighters
Firefighters Around the World Agree - In a Rescue Situation, the Difference Between Life and Death is a Matter of Minutes.
Each day, over 3,500 people are killed in motor vehicle crashes. If you turn on your local news, odds are you’ll see another crash that happened in your community. At Daniel Stark, we know all too well that these tragedies happen every day.
When first responders arrive on the scene of the crash, they are trained to rescue people from danger as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, many fire departments can’t afford the tools they need.
Most Fire Departments are UnderFunded
Did you know that 85% of fire departments in the United States are volunteer-based? Not only are these fire fighters serving their community for free, they’re doing so with outdated, inefficient, and unreliable equipment.
We first learned about the seriousness of this issue when we met Amanda Ruble, the remarkable woman who was fundraising for the Leroy-Axtell Volunteer Fire Department to purchase a new set of rescue tools. She knew how many lives these tools could save.
These powerful tools can cut through a crashed vehicle in seconds. This means that when someone is trapped after a crash, they can get the medical attention they need fast – drastically improving their chance of survival. These tools can cost over $40,000, forcing under-funded fire departments to go without.
While these heroes do the best they can with the resources they have, it’s unacceptable and unsafe to go into battle underequipped.
Here’s how you can help.

Help Your
Local Heroes
Our goal is not only to award one of these departments with $5,000, but to spread awareness about this issue and help each department reach their fundraising goals.
When someone is trapped in a vehicle, a well-equipped first responder can be the difference between life and death. Ask yourself, if you were trapped in a burning vehicle, what would you do to ensure that your local fire fighters could get you out in 90 seconds?
Because of Amanda, the town of Axtell, Texas, is safer today. With your help, your home town can be safer too.
