Ready to feed around 400 people, the Ainsworth Fire Department is hosting a drive-through biscuits and gravy breakfast Sunday.

Fire Chief Waylon Schultz says they will be serving from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a free will donation. He says they haven’t set a fundraising goal, but events in 2020 did well for them, “Any time we do a fundraiser we try to make what we can. All the proceeds will go right back into fire equipment. We just bought a pickup to use for a grass truck and that was all 100% paid for from donations received through our soup supper. We sell fireworks in the summertime as well, so we raised quite a bit of money that way to upgrade the (grass) truck and that was all from donations from folks around the community and surrounding area.”

Schultz says the grass truck conversion cost about $26,000 and will greatly enhance their abilities to answer calls to grass fires. He says their current equipment wish list includes upgrading their thermal imaging camera and a new air compressor to fill firefighters’ air packs.
