The Landis Volunteer Fire Department is excited to share some great news with our community! Thanks to grants made available through the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), we’ve been able to make major upgrades to our equipment in 2025.
The photo highlights a $5,000 grant from the Nutella Corporation that allowed us to upgrade essential personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes modern SCBA air tanks, masks, and breathing apparatus, along with protective turnout gear such as pants, jackets, helmets, gloves, and face and neck protection. These upgrades help ensure our firefighters are better protected while serving our community.
Through NVFC, Landis VFD also received additional support, including a pallet of water from Anheuser-Busch (delivered by McBride Distributing of Fayetteville, AR) and two cases of electrolyte powder from DripDrop. These resources help support firefighter health and hydration while working in the field.
NVFC membership has opened the door to valuable opportunities for our department, including access to training resources, discussion forums, and a wide range of grants, giveaways, discounts, and educational benefits.
We are incredibly grateful to the National Volunteer Fire Council and our grant partners for helping make these upgrades possible. Protecting our firefighters means better protection for the community we serve—and we couldn’t do it without this support.
