OKLAHOMA CITY (KSWO) - Volunteer Fire Departments in Oklahoma will each receive a $10,000 Grant from State Farm and the National Volunteer Fire Council.
They made the announcement today, and the Carnegie volunteer fire department was a recipient, along with two others in Oklahoma.
This is the second year of the program to fund the departments.
It helps to get much-needed equipment to remain operational and keep communities safe.
Volunteer firefighters make up 65% of the U.S. fire service that many rely on.
A total of $1.5 million was awarded to 150 volunteer fire departments through the Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program.
