Fire Chief Anthony Verley said the money will pay to replace outdated equipment on four engines and a ladder truck, ranging from new hose connectors to power saws to shovels.

"It's essential equipment," he said. "We just did not have the budget to replace it."

The department is also awaiting word on its application for another FEMA award under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response, or SAFER program, which would pay to hire seven new firefighters for two years.
