GREENFIELD — The city’s first responders have the green light and the $163,000 they need to buy new radios to improve communications and join a statewide system.
The City Council unanimously approved the money for the digital radios Wednesday night at its monthly meeting, with councilors saying they want to see their community and its firefighters and police officers safe. The $163,000 will be provided from the city’s free cash account.
“We have an outdated system, that if we don’t do this, will cost us a lot more in the long run,” Greenfield Fire Chief Robert Strahan explained. “These radios were purchased 15 years ago.”
