Neodesha Fire/EMS Department awarded grant for new equipment

The Neodesha Fire/EMS Department will be using some new equipment. The department recently got their hands on a new X-series defibrillator/heart monitor. The unit cost $35,000, and half the cost was covered by a Kansas Revolving and Assistance Fund (KRAF) grant. Around two percent of money paid on a speeding ticket or fine goes into this grant fund. The department applied for the grant through their local region, and it was awarded to them by the Kansas Board of EMS. Lieutenant Paramedic Landon Woodward says the equipment was badly needed.
