RCC’s Fire and Rescue receives $5000 donation from Bull Dog Hose Company

For the 51st Southeastern Fire and Rescue College at Robeson Community College, many firefighters will be training using new hoses thanks to a hefty donation from Bull Dog Hose Company in Angier.  

“Donnie Smith and I traveled to Angier to Bull Dog Hose Company to pick up a load of donated fire hose,” said Steve West, the director of the Fire and Rescue training program. “The hose will be used at the training center to conduct classes.”  

The fire hose is valued at $5000 and will go a long way in training the next generation of firefighters and other first responders at the Emergency Training Center in Lumberton, located seven miles east of the main campus off South Roberts Avenue.  

“We thank Bull Dog Hose Company for this amazing donation,” West said. “This donation is a show of our partnership with the community that extends far beyond our classroom walls, and we cannot thank Bull Dog Hose Company enough for their generosity and for this thoughtful gift that will get many miles of usage from our students.”
