Nine rural and small town fire departments in Wisconsin will receive grants from the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Domestic Preparedness, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold has announced.

Feingold set a letter to the ODP last April strongly urging the office to grant applications for Firefighter Grants to communities across Wisconsin.

The nine grants total $650,000 and will be used for training and fitness as well as the purchase of personal protective equipment, purchase of firefighting vehicles and modifications to fire stations.

Communities receiving the grants include the Athens Area Fire Department in Marathon County, Balsam Lake Fire and Rescue Department on Polk County, Hiles Volunteer Fire Department in Forest County, Lancaster Fire Department in Grant County, Lyndon Station Fire and Rescue in Juneau County, Mount Horeb Area Joint Fire Department in Dane County, Mountain Ambulance Service in Oconto County, South Wayne Fire Department in Lafayette County, and the Spring Valley Volunteer Fire Department in Manitowoc County.
