Jasper Mortgage Company Donates $500 to Loogootee Fire Safety Education Trailer
A Jasper veteran-owned mortgage company gave $500 to help repair Loogootee's 15-year-old fire safety education trailer used to teach children emergency skills.
The Mortgage Company of Southern Indiana, a locally owned and veteran-owned business based in Jasper, announced a $500 donation on March 9 to the Loogootee Fire Department to fund repairs and upgrades to the department's Fire Safety Education trailer.
The mobile unit has been in service for more than 15 years, teaching fire prevention, proper smoke alarm use, and how to safely exit a home during an emergency. Its reach extends beyond Loogootee: the trailer also assists surrounding fire departments and community organizations with their own fire prevention education efforts.
"Fire safety education saves lives," said Darren C. Patterson, Mortgage Broker and Owner of The Mortgage Company of Southern Indiana. "This trailer helps firefighters teach families how to prevent fires and respond quickly in an emergency. Supporting the Loogootee Fire Department is an investment in the safety of our entire community."
The Mortgage Company of Southern Indiana, Inc. operates under NMLS number 175673. Patterson's company has framed the contribution as consistent with its broader mission as a locally rooted business: supporting organizations that strengthen the community and protect local families.
No details about the specific repairs or upgrades planned for the trailer were provided at the time of the announcement.
