VIDEO: $30,000 in grants are coming to some Dickinson County first responders. At the Felch fire hall, three trucks sit still but ready to go at a momentโs notice.
And soon, when the trucks do leave, fire fighters may have new tools thanks to a grant from Circle Power. Felch Township Fire Chief Brian Anderson says his department is ready for the change. โI just got word last week that weโre going to get a $5,000 grant from Circle Power,โ Anderson said. โI was able to share it with some of the guys, but Iโm really excited. Going to be able to knock some equipment off of our wish list.โ
Circle Power gave First Responder Grants to five agencies across Felch, Norway and Sagola Townships, the three townshipsโ fire departments and two ambulance services in Sagola and Felch. The Felch Township Fire Department hasnโt decided on what to use its portion on, but a thermal imaging device and new radios are top of the list.
