OSWEGO — The City of Oswego Fire Department was awarded the State Farm Good Neighbor Firefighter grant. According to a post made on the department’s Facebook page, the department used the funds to upgrade nozzles and purchase a multi-gas sensor.
“We were one of 150 volunteer fire departments across the nation to receive a $10,000 grant through the State Farm Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program. In collaboration with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), State Farm has awarded $1.5 million in grants to help local fire departments obtain needed equipment to increase their responders’ safety, effectiveness, and ability to serve their community. These grants are a lifeline for local departments for purchasing equipment,” a department Facebook post read.
