American Crystal Sugar is proud to award Crookston Fire/Emergency Management a check for $5,000 to help with the repair and/or upgrade of their sandbagging machine. Crookston’s combination fire department provides coverage to the city of Crookston and 13 townships that surround the city. They consist of 7 full-time firefighters and 25 paid-on-call firefighters. They are also in charge of all Emergency Management activities for the city.
These funds will be used to repair and/or upgrade their sandbagging machine that was used a lot during high water events. Also, the funds will be used to upgrade communication radios used between the ward command posts and the main emergency operations center. These upgraded communication radios will help with communication with the “Boots on the Ground.” American Crystal supports the Crookston Fire/Emergency Management and thanks them for their various services they provide to the Crookston and the 13 surrounding townships.
