Lamar County fire protection grows
SUMMARY: Lamar County fire departments have recently benefited from new equipment and donations, improving their operational capabilities. Notably, a department received a grant for a washer-dryer for turnout gear and a breathing air compressor. Additionally, both Benny Bille Lumberton and Olo received $2,500 from Pearl River Valley for a ventilation fan. Volunteer departments often struggle to fund costly equipment like self-contained breathing apparatuses, which can range from $6,000 to $8,000 each. The county aims to attract more firefighters and is focusing on recruitment and replacing aging fire trucks as part of their future plans.
