Pictured at right are the new SCBA units recently purchased following the award of an Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Awarded around the beginning of August 2020, this grant totaled $221,386. Fire Chief Robert Reinholz and Lt. Eric Moss worked on the extensive grant application, with Lt. Moss spending many hours outside of his fire department shifts to complete the application in advance of the deadline.
