DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Since 2016, the Firefighters and Company Federal Credit Union has donated over $75,000 worth of carbon monoxide detectors.
The organization recently announced it is donating 750 carbon monoxide detectors to various fire departments in the Miami Valley. Donations will be distributed to the departments in the coming weeks.
Some of the funding comes from the credit union’s holiday skip-a-payment program, which allows members to skip their loan payments for the holidays. For every skip-a-pay fee the credit union receives, the credit union donates a CO detector.
“This year, we even had one department mention the program and partnership with the credit union while recognizing a local firefighter who received a commendation for saving lives with a CO detector that the firefighter installed days earlier,” said Shannon O’Neill, the marketing manager for the credit union. “We value these partnerships with the fire departments.”
