FREEPORT, Ill. (WIFR) - Nearly a dozen Illinois fire departments will split more than a million dollars in federal funding to improve firefighter training.
The Freeport Fire Department will see a little more than $10,000 of that funding in order to provide new protective equipment and update its facilities and supplies.
The money comes as part of the assistance to the Firefighters Grant Program which gives first responders much-needed emergency response equipment, emergency vehicles and improved training.
