Just wanted to post some pictures of our new equipment that our department has received recently through grants.

A new set of Battery Operated Holmatro Extrication Tools. They were purchased through Vogelpohl Equipment in Erlanger, Kentucky with funds from the State Marshals Small Fire Department Grant.

The Lazy Susan that the tools are mounted on was purchased with money from our fundraisers. It was built by Fire Manufacturing Innovations in Springfield, Ohio.

The three sets of Globe Turnout Gear was purchased through Fire Safety Services in Huntsville, Ohio with funds from the Louise Sheets Grant.

We would like to thank these organizations and our wonderful community for the support for making it possible for us to obtain new and update our equipment.
