Soroptimist Club helps Fire Department

The Soroptimist Club of Santa Paula recently handed the Santa Paula Fire Department a check in the amount of $2400.00. The money was part of the proceeds from their Annual Holiday Fashion Show. This year the fire department was asked for something they might need to better service the community. Immediately a new Air Pack was a priority. The Scott Air Pak Fifty 4.5 SCBA system with an estimated cost of $2400 each was the chosen item.
