The fire department also used proceeds from recent fundraisers and donations to upgrade the cutter unit that completes the project, the release said. This upgrade was needed to keep up with advancements in vehicle and farm machinery and will be used to free victims from car accidents and other entanglements.

Including this grant, the Dubuque Racing Association has awarded more than $48,600 to the Epworth Community Fire Department over the past 10 years.
