State Farm Funds Volunteer Firefighters | Pierre News

Three South Dakota volunteer fire departments just got a $10,000 boost each from State Farm’s Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program—funding specifically for life-saving gear. With 82% of U.S. fire departments run by volunteers, this support is crucial: they often lack resources to upgrade aging equipment. State Farm, partnering with the National Volunteer Fire Council, has poured $1.5 million into this year’s grants and $4 million total since 2024. Beyond gear, the company also offered free council memberships to 2,000 responders, unlocking vital training and support. These local heroes—on the front lines for fires, crashes, medical emergencies, and disasters—now have the tools they need to protect their communities safely.
