\nBefore the Penn State-Wisconsin game, Bloom Energy visited the Alpha Fire Company to present a $10,000 donation to support the firefighters, first responders, and public servants who have been protecting the State College community since 1899.<\/p>\n

\nAlpha Fire Company is an all-volunteer department that responds to a wide range of emergencies beyond fires, including fire prevention and traffic safety at emergencies. Protecting approximately 130,000 people across State College Borough, College Township, Ferguson Township, Patton Township, and the Penn State University campus, it is the third-largest fire department in Pennsylvania by population served.<\/p>\n

\n“For more than a century, Alpha Fire Company has been a trusted presence in the State College community, serving neighbors during emergencies and helping keep people safe every day,” said Natalie Sunderland, Chief Marketing Officer at Bloom Energy. “Their volunteers represent the very best of community service, and we are proud to support the firefighters and first responders whose dedication protects communities across the State College region. We also thank State Representatives Scott Conklin and Paul Takac for joining us and for their continued support of the people and organizations that strengthen community resilience.”<\/p>\n

\n“What makes Alpha Fire Company special is that service here creates opportunities that can change lives,” said Brian Bittner, Fire Chief of Alpha Fire Company. “We have more than 100 volunteers, and close to one third are Penn State students who live and serve at the firehouse while pursuing their education. Many have been able to graduate while saving money and launching their careers, all while giving back to the community. Support from organizations like Bloom Energy helps us continue investing in our people, our equipment, and our mission to serve.”<\/p>\n

\nBloom will also be onsite Saturday during the pregame tailgate where fans can take part in an interactive game and learn more about the company\u2019s work powering essential services in communities nationwide.<\/p>\n
