A Treynor woman who has used the services of the Treynor Volunteer Fire Department over the years has expressed her gratitude through a donation of $2,500. The Daily NonPareil reports Jolene Lammert‘s home caught fire twice over the years, and just a few years ago, her father-in-law was involved in a tractor accident. But every time, volunteer firefighters came to her aid. The 55-year-old woman still lives in that house, and her father is currently in good health.

On Monday, Jolene and her husband, Ron, donated $2,500 to the fire department to help pay for new hydraulic rescue tools. Lammert received the money when she was chosen by America’s Farmers Grow Communities as a winner for Pottawattamie County. The group works with farmers to support rural communities. Lammert entered the contest and, upon winning, was allowed to donate her prize to the organization of her choosing.
