Ala. town gets grant for new radios
By Chris Welch
The Huntsville Times
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The Huntsville fire department is getting a federal grant to help replace 20-year-old analog radios with state-of-the-art digital radios.
The $658,000 Assistance for Firefighters Grant from the Department of Homeland Security will allow Huntsville Fire & Rescue to buy digital radios to work with a new communications system that eventually will let all local emergency responders talk to each other, according to a news release from the fire department.
The City of Huntsville will match the grant with $164,500, or 20 percent of the total project budget of $822,500.
