Keeping cool and hydrated is always important — but more so if you're a firefighter or rescuer working on the front line to save lives and property. The Kailua-Kona Fire Station on Palani Road was the recipient of a commercial ice machine and filtered water dispenser thanks to a donor and $4,000 in contingency funds put forth by North Kona Councilman Holeka Inaba, who blessed the equipment, as well as a recently donated amphibious vessel, during a ceremony Thursday. The $5,000-plus worth of equipment will ensure firefighters have fresh, purified water as well as all the ice they need for emergency operations.
