The fire department says this grant money will be going towards various tools such as the jaws of life, traffic cones, and an 18-hour training course for members of their department.
Fire Chief Chris Hammett says these tools will be a great benefit, allowing “one or two people can do the job of what it used to take 4 or 5 people”.
