The Forest City Police Department and Forest City Fire Rescue sincerely thank The Challenge Foundation Group for their generous $12,000 donation to purchase a public safety drone for the Town of Forest City!

We also thank Mayor Steve Holland and his wife for organizing last night’s concert at ICC to honor firefighters, law enforcement officers, and fellow first responders. To every sponsor and everyone who supported the event, thank you for making it possible.

Following the downtown fire, our community recognized a need and came together to help meet it. This drone will provide another valuable tool to support emergency response and help protect our residents and first responders.

We are proud to serve a community that continually shows up for one another. Thank you for supporting those who serve Forest City!
