VIDEO: A simple reason with a deep meaning – thatโs the idea behind a Pierce County coupleโs $100,000 donation to the Rugby Fire Department. Jim and Gerd Tuchscherer have a farm just 16 miles southwest of Rugby. They said theyโve had to call the fire department a couple of times in the last few years. Firefighters were called to a hay bale fire from a lightning strike as well as a straw bale fire that got out of control. But each time, the couple said the Rugby firefighters responded with passion and kindness. โThey were prompt, courteous, very professional. They make sure youโre well and safe. Then, they go back and do what they do back to their civilian jobs,โ said Jim.
