Portland Fire Department’s self-contained breathing apparatus (pictured) are 15 years old and need to be replaced. Other departments in Jay County have air pack equipment that dates back to the 1980s. The county’s six fire departments partnered together to receive an $815,545 grant that will be used to purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus for all of them.
