Mar. 4--The Paducah Fire Department benefited from the latest round of grants given by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for fire prevention and safety.
The department received $41,525 and was one of 29 agencies to receive a share of almost $2.4 million through the program.
This was the sixth round, and in total, approximately 400 agencies will receive awards worth $32.5 million.
Paducah was one of two Kentucky agencies to receive funds. The Campbellsville Fire Department received $22,012.
The money will help support fire prevention and safety measures for high-risk targets, such as children, seniors and firefighters.
