Cabot has once again shown its commitment to the local community by donating nearly $45,000 in safety equipment to fire companies in Susquehanna County.

Seventeen fire companies in Susquehanna County were the recipients of a variety of safety equipment from Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation last week. Over the course of April 25 and 26, nearly $45,000 worth of equipment procured by Taylor Rental/BX3 Supply was warmly received by fire company representatives. Cabot officials also invited the firefighters to make arrangements at their convenience to visit gas pads and other sites to acquaint themselves with new technologies and potential concerns.

Regardless of size, all companies regarded by Cabot to be primary or secondary responders received the same items, which included a portable scene light, traffic signs, road flares, spill kits, road cones, danger tape, and a hand-held meter the likes of which gas workers take onto sites to detect levels of four potentially explosive gases. Cabot well operator and Springville Fire Company chief B.J. Thorne helped to determine the common needs among the fire companies as they pertain to situations at gas sites that might be encountered.
