Claylick Fire Department was awarded a grant from FEMA for the purchase of a new fire engine in the amount of $190,000 with a match of $10,000 from the department. Claylick applied for the grant in April of 2009 and was awarded on March 19, 2010. FF Martin Morel wrote the grant with assistance of the officer staff at the department. Claylick has applied for the grant once before without success. This grant will allow for the purchase of a new 2000 gallon, 5-man cab fire engine which will be the first ever NEW fire apparatus for the department. The truck will serve as a rescue company, tanker, and first line engine when needed. We hope to reveal the truck at the 2010 Apple Butter Festival in October of this year.
