The Clive, Iowa, Fire Department uses locks in training their personnel, so when one of our former renters, Clive fireman Jeff Price, called to ask if we had any locks we could donate to the department, Jill Madonia, manager at Dino’s Storage at 5327 SE 14th St. in Des Moines, was happy to oblige.
Jeff came in and Jill gave him a box of 10 locks, along with what might be a better idea for cutting them open. Jeff showed a video on his phone to illustrate how the department uses a saw to cut different locks. Jill showed him how we cut locks with a grinder. Jeff took a video of our way noting that it is much quicker and easier than using the saw. He’s suggesting to his captain that a grinder be carried on the fire truck.
As always, community service is a top priority with Dino’s and it’s great to have the opportunity to help out those who put their lives on the line to protect our lives and property.
Dino’s has three locations in the Des Moines metro. The others are at 2725 2nd Ave. In Des Moines and at 411 Brick St. In Bondurant.
