Thousands in grant dollars for local VFD

By Scott Harvey

Sulphur Springs – As much as $200,000 has been awarded to the North Hopkins Volunteer Fire Department from the Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Program.

The grant stipulates that the department come up with five percent matching funds.

The funds will most likely be used by North Hopkins VFD to purchase a much needed large capacity tanker truck.
