Tom Reed announces the Village of Mayville, will be awarded a $30,000 federal grant through the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to replace outdated safety equipment. “We care about those who put themselves in harm’s way for our benefit, especially our fire fighters and emergency services personnel,” said Reed. “These individuals devote their lives to protecting us and it is only right we give them the resources they need to keep themselves safe in that process.”

The grant will be used by the department to purchase a new defibrillator, a piece of medical equipment that can be used by rescue personnel to save lives.
