WASHINGTON – The Mount Hope Fire Company will receive $166,667 from the federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.
The money will be used to upgrade its Scotts-Packs breathing devices
worn by firefighters when entering the scene of an emergency.
“We’re very appreciative of our elected officials that have kept this type of grant system alive and well for the people that we protect and serve,” said Lou Dodd, fire department president. “We do this for the community, our families, friends and neighbors.”
US Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced the grant.
