The grant requires recipients to use the funds for non-disposable items. In past years, the department has purchased back boards and oxygen cylinders with the award money, according to Leanne Nash, West Carrollton’s EMS coordinator and fire prevention officer.
“The ironic part about the grants is that the amount has actually decreased in the past few years, because more people are paying attention and wearing their seatbelts,” she said.
