Baker County commissioners approved acceptance of a Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant for roughly $39,405 to replace vehicle extrication ("Jaws of Life") gear.
Staff said the department's existing extrication set is about eight years old and had required approximately $6,000 in repairs this year; the grant will fund a new set of equipment. Presenters said older sets will be retained and moved to another engine in the county after replacement.
The presentation stated this is a no-match grant that the county may apply for periodically; staff recommended approval and the commission voted in favor by voice vote.
Commissioners thanked the department and grant partners; procurement and distribution plans will be completed under the grant terms.
