Firemen celebrate latest gift
Martinsburg - Powerball winner Randy Smith believes in local volunteer fire department and the important work they do throughout Berkeley County.
This is a major reason he wanted to share some of his lottery winnings to help continue their public service mission, Smith said Thursday afternoon.
"It's all about personal experience and after working with them over the years - 21 years in law enforcement and I have always been around government has time, I know what they do "Smith said with a smile.
Smith joined the county officials and representatives from the Fire Department on Thursday to see the new trucks were purchased with the financial gift of $ 240,000 to the county, which has been "assigned to help the departments of the county firefighters he said.
The new trucks have gone to the office of Berkeley County of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and Baker Heights, Back Creek Valley, Hedgesville, Bedington and South Berkeley Volunteer Fire Departments. Baker Heights and Hedgesville also received ambulances.
Smith, who had not seen the new vehicles lined up side by side before, said he also hopes they will help ensure better access to county residents in an emergency.
"During the last major snowstorm we had, I was stuck in my house for three days and was listening to my scanner in hand, because my power was out most of the time. But I could hear the firemen and ambulances having all this trouble to get people - get them out, "Smith said.
"At that time I could not believe we still do not have enough material to do that. ...So people talk about what they would do if they ever win the lottery, well, it happened to me and then I saw this need. So I bought two ambulances and four-wheel drive vehicles to drive others if they need to enter an unplowed driveway, "he said.
Trucks, Ford F350 Super Duty four-door can handle emergency staffing and were equipped with plows, walk-behind snow blowers and emergency lighting special, "said Smith.
In August 2010, Smith won a jackpot of $ 79 million Powerball, with an immediate payment of $ 40 million.
Since then, Smith - a former Berkeley County sheriff and magistrate - have also bought two SUVs worth $ 54,000 for the Police Reserve, to help the Sheriff's Department's traffic control, the neighborhood watch programs and relief efforts winter.
He also donated $ 100,000 to Martinsburg City Police, with half the amount used for a live-scan fingerprint and the other half devoted to making improvements to their firing range.
