Wrapping Up Pioneer's FIRE Donation Program

DuPont Pioneer is wrapping up it's Funding Initiative For Rural Emergencies program with a few more grant announcements.

The latest is a 55 hundred dollar grant for the South Raleigh Fire Department to buy an air lifting bag system.

The Chatham-Kent firefighters will use that system to get victims out from underneath vehicles and heavy equipment.

DuPont Pioneer's FIRE program is being replaced, starting this year, with a program called Full Belly, Full Mind.

That grant program will provide support to qualified school and community-based breakfast and nutrition programs across Canada to help them provide nutritious and safe food to children.
