The state's congressional delegation announced the new fire grants for the Little Compton, North Kingstown, Warwick and Woonsocket Fire Departments.
Â
They are receiving a total of $1.1 million. The Warwick Fire Department will receive the most, about $635,000, to buy a new heavy-duty rescue vehicle to replace a 26-year-old medium-duty model.
The money was awarded through a Federal Emergency Management Agency program.
The delegation says the grants will help fire departments effectively respond to emergencies and keep communities safe.
