Dukedom, Ky.–The Latham/Dukedom Fire Department has been awarded funding through the Tennessee Volunteer Fire Grant, administered by the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office, to purchase new SCBA equipment. Officials said, “We’re proud to share that we have now received 4 MSA G1 SCBA packs along with 8 additional 45-minute bottles, and they are beginning to go into service.”
This equipment will replace outdated packs and provide firefighters with safer, more reliable air packs while operating on emergency scenes. Investments like this directly improve firefighter safety and strengthen our ability to serve the community.
“We’d like to thank the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance, and all elected officials who continue to support funding opportunities for volunteer fire departments across the state,” they said. “This is a major investment in the safety of our department and the community we proudly serve.”
