Month: April 2021

American Crystal Sugar is proud to award the Beltrami Fire and Rescue a check for $5,000 to help with the safety equipment purchases.  These funds will be used to purchase rescue flashlights, lights and mounts for fire helmets, gloves, new safety vests, and other safety equipment.

The Beltrami Fire and Rescue has 20 active members in their volunteer fire department.  They currently service 2 townships for fire and 3 townships for medical support.  In the past year they have been called to support Fertile, Crookston, Nielsville and Climax fire departments.

American Crystal is proud to support the Beltrami Fire and Rescue and hopes this grant will help to assist with keeping these 20 active volunteer members a little safer.
