Middletown firefighters receive federal grant to replace SCBA gear

Lolli said the grant “takes a huge chunk” out of the city’s deferred maintenance cost budget.

He said he appreciates the support from the federal Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to enhance the safety of the citizens of Middletown and the firefighters. Lolli praised the work of the team who worked on the grant that included Firefighters Chris Klug, Ben Bultman, Ryan Pennekamp, Capt. Rob Curry, and Assistant Chief Tom Snively.
