The Sycamore Fire Department recently received a $1,000 grant from the Enbridge Safe Community Program for the purchase of self-contained breathing apparatus voice amplification equipment. The communications equipment will enhance firefighter safety and survival on the fire ground as well as increase the safety and capability when first responders serve as part of a required two-out group during interior structural firefighting or when they are designated as a Rapid Intervention Team on the active fire ground both in Sycamore and when called for mutual aid responses.
