A Wonderful Day for Haiti!

Lifeline has been working for almost a year with the city of Chicago and the United States Air Force to donate a fire truck and ambulance to the city of Port au Prince, Haiti. These vehicles will help build the nation's capacity to respond to emergencies!!! On Saturday that finally became a reality. 

What makes this whole thing better is that fire fighters from Local 270 of Florence, Alabama has agreed to provide a training group to go to Port Au Prince and train their Haitian counterparts on the vehicles. 

There was a lot of coordination between everyone involved and we truly appreciate everything that has been done to make this project possible. The City of Chicago for donating the vehicles, the United States Air Force and all the military that assisted in transporting the vehicles, as well as the Alabama Fire Fighters Union 270 who will do the training. 


We at Lifeline have been working with the Haitian National Police Department on this project and we are so happy to see this vision be a reality! 

After speaking with the head officer of the Air Force that brought the vehicles, I know that God had His hand on this project. The Captain told me that because of the expenses being cut that he was told that they could not make this trip, HOWEVER He was working on this plane for inspection purposes and told them that he needed to make some test runs AND that is how he was able to transport these vehicles to Port Au Prince today! Praise the Lord for His Wonderful Greatness in ALL the things!
