(KNZA)--The Kansas Forestry Service has awarded a $9,000 grant to
the Sabetha Fire Department for new radios.
According the Sabetha Fire Chief Jim Johnson, the grant was awarded through the Volunteer Fire Assistance Cooperative Fire Protection Program.
The grant requires a 50 percent local match, which will be provided by the city of Sabetha.
Five 800 MHz radios will be purchased, which will allow the
SFD to communicate more effectively with local and state first response and public safety agencies who use 800 MHz radios.
