The Mamou Volunteer Fire Department recently received a $1,000 grant from the Anadarka Petroleum Production Company. Volunteer fireman and Anadarka employee Briano Landreneau applied for the grant to assist the department. This grant is given out annually to organizations that assist their communities on a volunteer basis. The fire department has to meet several requirements to receive the grant. These funds will be used to purchase needed equipment for the department.
