From an Airforce base during World War II to what is now an industrial air park. Donaldson Center has changed over the years to support industry like 3M, Lockheed Martin, Solvay, etc., while continuing to work with military installations. Home to Army Reserve, National Guard, Air National Guard, Navy Reserve, and Marine Reserve units. Donaldson Center still remains very much supportive of the United States military. Changing times, industrial growth, and technological growth has bred the growth of hazards. To meet and attempt to prevent these challenges, Donaldson Center Fire Department, and supporting industry, strives to provide an environment that encourages personnel to become better trained, more involved, and included to on-going projects so they understand more. The relationship and comradery between the Donaldson Center Fire Department and those served is nothing short of amazing- something you may not come across anywhere else.
