In addition to their ladders and hoses, Duncanville firefighers will have something extra special on their fire trucks—books.

The Duncanville Fire Department has partnered with Altrusa International of Southwest Dallas County to promote literacy by providing reading materials to children as part of the “Books to the Rescue” Program. The Duncanville Fire Dept. and Altrusa International will formally kick-off the program at a brief presentation on April 7 at 10:30 a.m. at Duncanville Fire Station No. 2, located at 1530 S. Main Street.

Starting this month, children ages one to 12 that are transported to the hospital for treatment or with a parent will be given a book, coloring book and crayons to use to help provide a few minutes of joy and activities to do while recovering.

Duncanville Fire Chief David Giordano said the program provides another opportunity for the department to serve the Best Southwest community.

“We look forward to a partnership with Altrusa International “Books to the Rescue” Program in an ongoing effort to support literacy programs for the very young in and around our community,” said Chief Giordano.

The materials in the packet are provided through generous donations from Altrusa International, a community service organization of professional women and men who volunteer and provide services to the community, promote literacy and fight against AIDS.
