Rep. Dean Fisher (R-Garwin) recently donated $1,000 of his unused legislative expenses to the Tama Fire Department. The department will use the money to purchase a rescue pack that is an emergency kit used when a firefighter is trapped in a building. This year, Rep. Fisher has donated $6,500 to Volunteer Fire Departments throughout his legislative district. Pictured here is Rep. Fisher with members of the Tama fire department, including Fire Chief Paul Ellenbecker.
