losco County Fighters Association Fundraiser Event: 

The purpose of this fundraiser is to organize a community event benefiting the losco County Firefighters. All of the proceeds from this event will be going towards equipment actively used by the Association, especially the system called Active 911. It is used to supplement the fire department paging system in losco County. When there is a call, the address and type of emergency is sent out over fire department pagers. Sometimes information is limited, or in some cases the firefighter may be in a bad reception area and no call is received. With Active 911, the call also comes across their phones, with complete information and mapping for the call. It is a robust back-up for the paging system. There is no cost to the individual firefighter because it is paid for by the losco County Firefighters Association!
