Bobby Boehm is a man on a mission. A lieutenant with the Chapmanville Volunteer Fire Department, Boehm applied for and received a grant of $5,500 for new equipment from Brothers Helping Brothers, a nonprofit charity that helps small rural fire departments throughout the nation with equipment and education. "We applied for four pieces of equipment," Boehm said. "Three of them are the same. It's called a falcon hook, and it helps with ventilation and forceful entry, prying. It's about a 6-foot pole. We also applied for a ground monitor. You can secure it to a stationary object and flow large amounts of water on building fires. That frees up firemen to be able to do search-and-rescue and other firefighting tactics, whatever they need to do."
