Nauvoo Volunteer Fire Department receives CAWACO grant

4/20/2026

The Nauvoo Volunteer Fire Department received a $10,000 CAWACO grant which provided a few of our firefighters with NFPA‑compliant turnout gear that significantly improves safety, operational readiness, and emergency response capability. As a result, the department can respond more effectively to structure fires and hazardous incidents, benefiting both our firefighters and our entire community. We are greatly appreciative of CAWACO RC&D for everything they do to help rural communities like ours!
