Volunteer firefighters in Indiana are set to receive several million dollars in additional funding to replace decades-old equipment thanks to a grant provided by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Tuesday morning that around $10 million is set to be invested in various communities throughout the state to purchase new personal protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. “While most people run from dangerous situations, firefighters run toward them to serve their community,” said Gov. Holcomb. “This investment is long overdue in our state. Nothing could be more important than for these brave men and women to be both properly suited and trained. It’s how we can best serve them as they serve us.”
