Huntington Lake VFD and OHV grant!
We need your input!
Your comments and suggestions will help us strengthen this grant application and make Off-Highway Vehicle recreation in our area even safer. The grant requires the department to provide at least a 26% match for the funds awarded by the OHMVR Division, which we will meet through firefighter labor and the “rental” value of our Polaris side-by-side in both winter and summer.
The medical oxygen equipment will allow us to carry more oxygen to patients in remote locations, the stretcher and its handles will improve patient transport, and the chain saw will help us clear access to emergency scenes. High-power digital radios will enable our monitoring and rescue teams to communicate reliably with one another and with our partner agencies, even though those agencies often use different radio systems, because these new radios are designed to interoperate across platforms.
We invite your comments and suggestions to help improve this grant so that Off-Highway Vehicle recreation in our area becomes even safer.
