Peoples Rural Telephone Company (PRTC) is proud to announce the donation of $1,000 to each of the following volunteer Fire Departments: Crossroads Fire Department, Vincent Fire Department, Gray Hawk Fire Department, McKee Fire Department, Pond  Creek Fire Department, Sand Gap Fire Department, Gray Hawk Fire & Rescue—Brushy Mountain Station, and Booneville Fire Department, Stations #1 & #2. 
These donations underscore PRTC’s commitment to supporting the brave men and women  who volunteer their time and risk their lives to protect our rural communities.

We are honored to support their efforts  and help ensure they have the resources they need to continue their vital work.” 
     PRTC recognizes the importance of community service and is dedicated to investing in initiatives that enhance the quality of life for the residents of our service areas. This donation is a  small token of our appreciation for the life-saving work that these volunteers perform every  day.
