On Friday, NextEra Energy Resources and Cherokee County Cogeneration Facility donated this Technical, Confine Space and Trench Rescue Equipment trailer to the Gaffney City Fire Department. Two years ago, the Fire Department received an $80,000 FEMA grant to purchase critical equipment. This trailer provides the firefighters with a quick and efficient way to transport it to an emergency.
Gaffney City Fire Chief Nathan Ellis (second from left) was extremely grateful to his corporate partners at NextEra/Cherokee County Cogeneration Facility. "We were at their plant recently conducting training exercises in trench rescue and they noticed we had a need for a trailer like this. They were quick to offer a hand." NextEra Energy generates power in 25 states and Canada. 90% of their power comes from clean and renewable fuels. At the Cherokee Facility, NextEra burns natural gas, then captures the water vapor biproduct to develop additional energy.
