Thank you, Charles and Diane Paynter for your $5,000 donation to the New Platteville Fire Facility project!

Diane Paynter shared, "As the daughter of Platteville volunteer firefighter Kenneth Henry, I grew up knowing the value of the Fire Department. As part of the 2001 Citizen's Academy, we saw firsthand the overcrowding in the current facility and are grateful that the new facility will address that issue. We are also pleased that the new facility will be in the midst of our community. We have been fortunate never to have to use the Fire Department's services, but we appreciate their presence every day."
