The East Liverpool Fire Department regional hazmat team was recently awarded nearly $100,000 to upgrade its respiratory equipment.
The grant, written by the city fire department, was awarded through the county Emergency Management Agency (EMA) from the state’s Homeland Security Grant Program. Â
The hazmat team responds throughout Columbiana County when requested by local fire departments, and this equipment upgrade will enhance responders’ safety, according to East Liverpool fire Chief Bill Jones.
