BOONVILLE, MO--(Boonville Daily News)-- The Cooper County Fire Protection District celebrated its 43rd annual awards banquet at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Boonville, Missouri on December 9th. Lunda Construction was selected to receive the Friend of the Fire Fighter award.

“We like to recognize individuals or organizations who lend their time or support to make our job easier and safer,” Assistant Chief Russell Schmidt explained. “We selected Lunda for numerous reasons.” Those reasons ranged from delivering load upon load of asphalt millings to stations 1, 2, and 3 parking lot repair, assistance during the fire in Wooldridge in the fall of 2022, and assistance during a multi-vehicle wreck on the old bridge at Rocheport that included a semi hauling cattle, in which the cattle were able to escape and roam around on the bridge.
