What happened
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and S&K Gaming provided a $2,500 donation to every volunteer fire department in Lake County. This funding is intended to help departments manage the high cost of firefighting gear. Paul Adams, chief of the St. Ignatius Volunteer Fire Department, noted that a full set of firefighting gear can cost around $10,000 per firefighter.

Why it matters
The donation addresses the difficulty local volunteer departments face in keeping up with equipment needs due to limited funding. Without replacement funding, departments may be forced to use worn or damaged gear, which reduces protection during structure fires.
