The Galesburg Fire Department is set to receive a grant through the Kansas Forest Service.

The department has announced that it will receive the funding in the form of a Volunteer Fire Assistance grant. The money comes through a 50/50 cost-share program using federal funds from the U.S. Forest Service. Officials say they will use the funds to update fire hoses, pagers, and a new pump for one of the fire trucks.

This is the third year in a row that Galesburg Fire has received this grant.
