The Perrinton Fire Department will receive $60,000 from a U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow announced Monday the grant to purchase a compressor and cascade system for filling self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) air tanks. “Perrinton firefighters and first responders protect our businesses, families and homes during emergencies,” said Sen. Peters in a news release. “I’m pleased to announce these new resources that will allow the Perrinton Fire Department to update their equipment so they can continue to protect the community safely and effectively.”
