At the most recent Troy City Council meeting, Troy Fire Chief Thomas Outlaw announced that the fire department had received a federal grant for $136,364, which will cover 90 percent of the purchase of an ambulance-like vehicle.

“If you’re familiar with Montgomery, some of the paramedics up there ride the same sort of vehicle that this will be,” Outlaw said.
