The Park Hills Fire Department received a grant worth $97,800 from the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters program.
Fire Chief John Rigney said the money will be used to replace fourteen self-contained breathing apparatus.
The grant was applied for last year and the process is extremely competitive, Rigney said. City council applauded the news.
Rigney also asked council for funds to replace the furnace in the rear fire department bay and the upstairs apartment. The furnace was installed in 1983.
He asked for $4,500 for the the replacement furnace and necessary duct work, which was approved.
