State Farm Vice President of Operations Jeff Shay presented a $14,500 "BIG" check to Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Chief Cumbey Gaines on July 31.
The check represented Safe Neighbor grant funds awarded to Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department in December 2011.
MFRD used the grant funds to purchase an emergency rescue boat for the department's Water Rescue Team. The boat was also unveiled at the presentation, attended by several MFRD personnel, State Farm representatives, and city/state dignitaries.
