In a significant development for local emergency services, two fire departments from Lawrence County have been chosen as recipients of grant funding through the 2025 Rescue Squad Grant Program. The Ethridge Volunteer Fire Department and West End Fire & Rescue are among the 95 departments statewide that will benefit from this initiative.
The total amount allocated for this program is $3 million, which will be distributed among the selected departments. These funds are intended to enhance the capabilities of the fire departments, allowing them to acquire essential equipment that will aid in incident response and ensure the safety of their personnel. This financial support underscores the commitment to improving emergency services and protecting both responders and the communities they serve.
