Marathon Petroleum Company Donation to Fire Department
BACKGROUND
The Cottage Grove Fire Department has a long history of training and working with the
Fire Brigade of Marathon Petroleum Company. We provide mutual aid to each other's
incidents when necessary. The City of Cottage Grove also has 9 storage tanks off g5tn
Street that we would work together with the Marathon Fire Brigade if there was an
incident.
Marathon Petroleum Company has in years past made donations to the Cottage Grove
Fire Department and this money has helped our department in our building of our
training ventilation trailer and in the purchase of our Keiser Force training machine.
On Wednesday, December 19 at a meeting with Marathon Petroleum Plant Director
Ray Brooks, I was presented with a check for $1,000.00 for the Cottage Grove Fire
Department.
In meeting with the Fire Department Command Staff to gather ideas for the possible use
of this donation, Deputy Chief Redenius felt that the addition of a top mounted lightbar
on Expedition 3127 would be an important safety addition. This vehicle is used at
accident scenes and responds as a primary response vehicle by the Fire Command
staff. At an accident scene in the last week, Deputy Beasley stated that 3127 had the
least amount of lights for the Public Safety Vehicles there and he was blocking traffic as
a safety measure with truck 3127.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends passing a motion to accept the $1,000.00 donation from Marathon
Petroleum Company and assist in purchasing and installing a lightbar for vehicle 3127.
