Replacement Life Jackets for Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville’s fire department has received a generous donation after losing all its donated life jackets. According to KETK, the fire department asked for donations for new jackets after 18 went missing from Lake Jacksonville. Tyler-based Kent Watersports donated three dozen life jackets to the department this week. Fire officials say Kent Watersports manufactures life jackets, so it was very generous of the company to donate them. According to the fire department, people who have used life jackets may also donate them — such as jackets that kids have outgrown.
