GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- As a way to pay respect for law enforcement and fire rescue, Contract Transport Services wrapped trucks that they send out on the road, with the idea of donating 2 cents for every loaded mile that each departments truck traveled last year.
CTS had a truck wrapped with a police logo and one wrapped with a fire department logo. Whenever the trucks are loaded and in use, CTS tracked the millage that each truck accumilated throughout the year, and gave each department two cents for every loaded mile that the wrapped truck representing their department recorded.
Green Bay Metro Fire Chief David Litton said the $3,061 dollar donation will go towards paramedic training for EMT’s.
“We have folks that are in the department that are basic EMT’s and may want to go on be paramedics, so we will use part of the money to help them with their training,” Litton said. “Our greatest demand for service is our paramedic service.”
Litton says the department has 106 paramedics, but it is important to keep them all trained.
Green Bay Police received a check for $1,925 dollars.
Chief Andrew Smith said they will put the money back in the community through outreach programs.
“Working with the youth in our community and the different communities throughout Green Bay to help with that partnership that keeps Green Bay safer.”
Smith said he has learned that Green Bay is a city with a really big heart, and made a point to thank CTS for helping with hurricane relief efforts in Texas.
“I see that here every single day. Businesses like CTS partnering with us to send trucks for hurricane releif.”
CTS has a total of nine wrapped trucks.
