Evanston receives FEMA grant – update

The TribLocal Evanston has an article which outlines the equipment that the Evanston Fire Department will purchase with funding they recently received from a FEMA grant.

Four state-of-the-art, high tech cardiac monitor/defibrillators, compliments of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA.

Evanston Fire Chief Greg Klaiber recently learned that his department was one of five Illinois fire departments to have received an “assist to firefighters grant” from FEMA. He said the $132,000 will be used to buy the new high tech cardiac monitor/defibrillators, which will replace older models now in use.

Last year Evanston got $990,000 through the program to buy a new ladder truck, and applied unsuccessfully this year for a grant to buy another ladder truck, in addition to the cardiac monitor/defibrillators.
