The Pembroke Volunteer Fire Department has received $50,000 as part of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant to purchase new fire hoses.
The department says their current hoses are from the late 1980’s and early 90’s, so the new hoses have been a long time coming, as the old ones have started to become a safety hazard for firefighters. With new hoses the department will be in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association standards, along with ensuring the safety of the firefighters.
The department thanked Vickers Consulting for their assistance in obtaining the grant.
