The Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation is proud to support the Nye Volunteer Fire Department’s fire prevention and protection services. With the Fund’s support, the Department is now better equipped with a custom “wild lands fire truck” and a fire danger sign for the town. The Tippet Rise Fund also purchased equipment and tooling
for an off-road tanker truck for the Department and helped to expand community outreach programs
for fire-prevention education, such as fuel mitigation around homes and subdivisions and maintenance
of fire extinguishers. Tippet Rise Art Center appreci- ates the hard work and time that volunteer firefighters dedicate to ensure the safety and security of the community and land near the art center and throughout the region.
