Allianz awarded grants include: - Waseca Fire Department received $22,500 to refurbish a water-tanker truck.

- Alexandria Fire Department received $6,381 to help purchase a hydraulic cribbing system.

“Allianz commitment to our communities comes alive through programs like these, which allow us to provide broader life-saving support,” said Nancy Jones, Allianz chief marketing officer. “We help build stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities through these contributions, and the Bucket Brigade allows Allianz employees to nominate a local fire department.” The Allianz Heritage program also focuses on providing funds for needed firefighter training and community education programs.
