Firefighters with the Ontonagon (MI) Fire Department recently got a $227,995 grant to help replace a 30-year-old rescue truck, according to an article published by The Daily Mining Gazette.
The paper reported the grant was from Michigan’s Financial Distressed Cities Villages and Townships (FDCVT) Grant Program and will be used to replace an apparatus put in service in 1989.
The fire department has until September 2025 to spend the money, but village officials say the process should be complete by the end of the year, the newspaper reported.
