Communications Grant Awarded

We're excited to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security The grant provided new portable 2-way radios with external microphones and extra batteries. The grant is part is part of the DHS interoperability program. Chief Carl Kleinman and Deputy Chief Roger Crank have already received the radios from the Lawrence County EMA building on August 5, 2008. All of our members are now fully equipped with 2-way radios which will allow for more effective communications during a response and on emergency scenes. We would like to thank the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Lawrence County EMA and LEPC, Mike Boster, and a special thanks to Tracy Vititoe (who coordinated this grant effort).
