Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

Project Tribute Foundation, a non-profit in Bartlesville with a mission to provide lifesaving equipment to first responders, delivers 60 kits to the Sequoyah County Fire Department.

Executive Director Jon Beckloff says their program was unique in that their team includes a group of students that serve alongside the firefighters. He says the program, which is similar to a police explorers program, had kids as young as 15 getting involved.

The Sequoyah County Fire Department serves 27 square miles in western Sequoyah County. Their duties include swift water rescue, wildland firefighting, and standard firefighting duties.
