This is the first grant the department has ever received from the federal government. Derek Felsman says, Our strategic plan is to ensure that our firefighters are kept safe, in which is two-fold. It also ensures they are prepared, willing and able, 24/7 to respond to emergencies in our community."
This is the first time in ten years the Prompton Fire Company has gotten new gear. They recently also invested in a new fire truck. | | |
