A rural Pottawattamie County family’s estate has donated a huge sum of money to the Neola Fire and Rescue Department. According to the Daily NonPareil, the Helen Darrington estate made a donation of $102,000 to Neola Fire and Rescue. Fire Chief Bill Schierbrock said the Darringtons were a family the department responded to a few times over the years, and the family had always donated to the department’s fundraisers in the past.

The news shocked the members of the grateful volunteer department. The money will go towards paying off a new rescue truck the department purchased.
