Boone Firefighters Association Secure Grant for Equipment

KWBG 11/19/19

BOONE, Iowa—The Boone Firefighters Association presented a recent grant award they received from the Union Pacific Railroad.  The $15,000 grant will pay for equipment that will be replacing articles from the older Jaws of Life.  The new equipment, a spreader and cutter are battery powered, a little easier to handle and can also be used both indoors and outdoors.

Boone Firefighter Josh Long makes a presentation of the Union Pacific Railroad grant to Boone Mayor John Slight.
Equipment purchased with the Union Pacific Railroad Grant proceeds. The spreader and cutter are battery powered and offer more flexibility in using the equipment
