CFS (Container First Services) made a donation to all Lunenburg County Fire & Rescue services. CFS recently purchased the Lunenburg County Landfill and its dumpster operations, with a $50,000 donation to the county. After a new press box/concession stand was built for Central High School, the remaining money was donated to the local emergency services. Each fire department was donated a new Task Force Tips Blitz Fire Ground Monitor and each EMS agency was donated roughly $3,400. This donation will add to the equipment and make purchasing new EMS equipment possible.
