The Jefferson City Fire Department received $1,200 from Missouri American Water through an annual firefighter grant program, NewsTribune.com reported.

The program has been orchestrated annually by the water and wastewater utility company since 2016, providing nearly 200 awards, the report said.

A fire official said the money will be put toward buying appliance adapters, so water hoses fit other sizes or types of hoses, according to the report.

The Harbor Beach Area Fire Department was recently awarded a grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Facilities Direct Loan & Grant Program, Huron County View reported.

The grants were awarded by the USDA – a total of $572,050 to support multiple rural communities across Michigan, the report said.

Among the grantees was Harbor Beach Area Fire Department, which will receive $31,750 to buy water rescue equipment, the report said.

The majority of the money will go toward a new rescue boat, a fire official said. It will also provide funds for training, according to the report.

The fire department will be replacing its current 14-foot water rescue boat with a new 22-foot boat, the report said.

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) announced last week that it delivered two Peterbilt water tenders to the Siskiyou County Fire Chiefs Association to strengthen local fire prevention and response capabilities, HeraldandNews.com reported.

The trucks are just the first pieces of equipment KRRC will provide to increase the capacity of local fire departments, the report said. The water tenders were built and purchased in Siskiyou County, adding an economic boost to a local business.

One is a 2023 Dodge Ram 5500 diesel flatbed truck and the other is on order from regional suppliers, according to the report.

In addition to the newly delivered trucks, the agreement with the Fire Chief’s Association calls for KRRC to provide four fire pumps, eight 3,000 gallon aluminum frame tanks, twenty fire hoses with 50’ lengths, a 15-inch drum chipper, a dump trailer, four helicopter dip tanks, radio equipment, four 24’ flatbed trailers to transport tanks, and more, the report said.
