DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (WLOX) - The Diamondhead Fire Department has new lifesaving equipment, purchased with the help of an $18,000 grant.
The grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation purchased a pair of battery-operated hydraulic rescue tools.
“This piece of equipment is battery operated. It allows our firefighters to be able to start the process of extricating a victim quicker and with less constraints because they’re not dragging hoses around,” said Fire Chief Michael Munger.
