The Findlay Fire Department is getting more than $101,000 to help prevent emissions from fire trucks from getting into two fire stations. A release from Senator Sherrod Brown says FEMA recently awarded the grant to the city. Fire Chief Josh Eberle says the money will pay for a duct system that attaches to the fire trucks’ exhaust pipes when they are in the station. It’s designed to keep diesel fumes from getting into the living areas.

The system is going into stations 1 and 4. Eberle says the city paid to have it installed in station 2 last year. Findlay Fire Station 3 is already scheduled to have the exhaust removal system installed this year.

Eberle says stations 1 and 4 are bigger than the other two, so it’s more costly to install the ductwork.
