Minot Fire Department launching Helmets for Heroes
Apr 26, 2024
MINOT, ND (KXNET) — The Minot Fire Department (MFD) says its new Helmets for Heroes program will launch on April 28.
The Helmets for Heroes program was developed to show children enduring hard times that they have the support of the MFD and are not alone. The Helmets for Heroes program will recognize these children as heroes in the Minot community.
“Everyday heroes make the world a better place,” said MFD Chief Kelli Kronschnabel. “Minot is full of these everyday heroes, and we thought this would be a great way to recognize them.”
