The Stuart Fire Department has received another grant from a local source.

After the department secured a little more than $4,000 from the Guthrie County Community Foundation earlier this year, Chief Mike Renslow tells Raccoon Valley Radio that Stuart Fire has now been awarded a grant of almost $4,400 from the Flint Hills Resources ethanol plant near town.

Renslow says the funds will be used to purchase four new rescue harnesses and a tripod and winch system that can be used for confined space rescues.

Renslow thanks Flint Hills for the grant funding, saying it will “allow Stuart Fire to continue serving the Stuart community to the best of its ability.”
