During the event, representatives from various local fire departments were present to accept their checks. The recipients included the Centerpoint, Crossroads, Ethridge, Gandy, Henryville, Iron City, Leoma, Loretto, Southeast, Summertown, and West End Volunteer Fire Departments. This funding is expected to enhance their operational capabilities and improve community safety.
