The Clinton Fire Department is getting almost $120,000 in grant money from a grant. Firefighters plan to make improvements to their stations. Firefighters found out about the grant on Friday morning, May 20, 2016. The $119,737, which is coming from the Assistant to Firefighters Grant, will be used to buy fire suppression equipment, according to a statement from Representative Dave Loebsack's office.
