The Keogh 501 Memorial is currently helping nine area youths get closer to their goals of becoming local firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and hopes to continue doing so in the future.
With the help of donations made towards the Keogh 501 Memorial, the program is currently able to provide books, supplies, and more to five EMT course students, as well as four boys in the fire cadet program.
