Robbins, Brooks Announce Grant for Fallowfield Fire Co.

$10,000 will go toward installation of weather warning sirens

The Fallowfield Fire and Rescue Company will receive a $10,000 Community Revitalization state grant to install weather warning sirens, State Senator Bob Robbins (R-50) and State Representative Michele Brooks (R-17) announced today.

Fallowfield Fire and Rescue previously purchased the sirens and will use the grant money to buy poles and materials to install the devices. The company provides service to the communities of Adamsville, Atlantic and Hartstown and neighboring areas.

"I am very pleased that the state is providing this funding to help Fallowfield Fire and Rescue Company install these sirens," Senator Robbins said. "We see our share of severe weather each year and these sirens can provide an essential warning that will save lives."

"I am always pleased to support our emergency responders," said Representative Brooks. "They spend a great deal of their time helping our community, whether they are responding to an emergency or raising funds to keep their company operational. This grant not only helps Fallowfield but also helps the communities it serves."

The Community Revitalization Grant is administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development.
