Williamson Fire Department Receives Funding To Purchase Equipment
The Williamson Fire Department has received a $ 25,578 Department of Homeland Security grant. Chief Jerry Mounts says that the money will be used for purchasing an air compressor refill station to re-fill self contained breathing apparatus. The current compressor that the station has takes about 25 minutes per bottle to fill. The new apparatus will fill one tank in five minutes.
