Wichita Fire Department gets funding for needed upgrades

Communication takes the lead when it comes to responding to an emergency, but for the Wichita Fire Department, the technology is falling behind. Wichita Fire Chief Tammy Snow said the alerting systems to notify crews about an emergency are outdated. The other challenge is the equipment is different between the stations. This means there’s a need to update the system and even add signal boosters for the radios. The Wichita City Council approved nearly $3 million, using funding from the American Rescue Plan.
