Preston FD gets federal grant

PRESTON – The Preston Fire Department has been chosen to receive a large federal grant. U.S. Representative Michael Arcuri (D-Utica) announced that Preston would be one of three fire departments in his district to receive aid from the Department of Homeland Security.

The grants are designed to enhance preparedness as first responders, said Arcuri. “Our country depends on prepared, well-equipped, and fully-trained first responders,” said the congressman.

Preston will receive $121,885 for fire rescue out of the $236,921 given to the three departments, which also include the Deansboro Fire District and the Mohawk Fire Department.
