Gig Harbor, Wash. State Farm Agent Patrick Kelly and State Farm Auto Estimatics Property Claim Trainer Dale Wilson presented the $6,000 State Farm Good Neighbor Citizenship Grant to “Crunch Time” Auto Extrication Coordinator Todd D. Meyer, who is also a Gig Harbor Fire Lieutenant and Acting Battalion Chief, at the Pierce County Fire District 5 Commissioners Meeting on Monday, June 11, 2007 at the Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One station, 10222 Bujacich Road NW, Gig Harbor, Wash., 98332.
State Farm Agent Patrick Kelly said State Farm recognizes and applauds “Crunch Time” Training for its commitment to cutting-edge safety and training in Gig Harbor and across the Pacific Northwest region.
“On behalf of claims, agency, and operations here at State Farm, I am pleased to present Pierce County Fire District 5 with this grant for $6,000,” State Farm Agent Patrick Kelly said. “I want to thank you for the incredible job you do, day in and day out for the residents of our community. Your efforts make a significant difference in saving lives each and every day. We are proud to partner with you in your great educational training course – ‘Crunch Time’. Again, thanks for what you do. It is greatly appreciated.”
State Farm还宣布捐赠15辆打捞车进行培训，总价值超过5,280美元。这是第四年的州立农场捐赠了总车辆，使参与者可以在事故现场学习机动车辆切割和拆除技术。这是有史以来第一份为“紧缩时间”提供的国家农场的好邻居国籍赠款。吉格港消防与医疗部门的五名消防区专员和代表热烈欢迎捐款。
这个国家ally-recognized, two-day training serves firefighters and emergency first responders from Washington and surrounding states. Sixty-six students are registered for “Crunch Time” 2007 scheduled for September 15 and 16, 2007 at the Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One Training Facility, 10222 Bujacich Road NW, Gig Harbor, Wash., 98332.
“Our goal at “Crunch Time” is to provide a safe and challenging learning environment with plenty of tool time,” explains “Crunch Time” Coordinator Todd D. Meyer. “Gig Harbor Fire is dedicated to delivering quality training that promotes the most effective methods concerning vehicle extrication.”
The State Farm Good Neighbor Citizenship Grant will help pay for equipment vital to creating real-life scenarios.
迈耶补充说：“州农场赠款使我们能够购买更多的培训用品，其中可能包括半卡车，农场设备和其他涉及纠缠情况的大型机械。”
Grant funds also defray tuition fees. Several attendees can now attend, who might not otherwise get hands-on, advance training before encountering real-life hazards at emergency scenes.
迈耶解释说：“州农场的良好公民资助使我们能够降低每个学生的学费。”“ Crunch Time”是一个训练领域，来自小型农村消防部门的消防员可以与大型城市消防部门的消防员一起工作并训练。我们努力保持我们的学生与教育者比率较低，以确保一项高质量的计划。”
“感谢您慷慨大方，并与参与者分享这笔赠款，”科罗拉多州帕克市帕克消防区特种作战和培训支持的丹妮丝·贝克（Denise Baker）说。“而且，感谢State Farm在认识到'Crunch Time'的价值的慷慨大方。”
