Calif. fire department gets $600,000 grant


The Times-Standard

ARCATA, Calif. — The Arcata Fire Protection District has been awarded more than $600,000 in federal grant funds to update the Humboldt County Fire Radio Network.

Congressman Mike Thompson announced Friday that the grant was awarded through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.

The grant will be used to update mountaintop radio repeaters, the dispatch console in the command center and the infrastructure that supports it.

The grant application was prepared by Arcata Fire Capt. Curt Watkins and carries an anticipated 20 percent match funded by local agencies, which will bring the total of the project to more than $700,000.
