Clinton City (SC) Council Approves Grant Application for Fire Apparatus

The Clinton City Council approved applying for a Community Development Block Grant of $500,000 for the initial purchase of a fire truck, reports WLBG Radio 860.

A replacement is needed for a 1995 KME truck that was taken out of service due to mechanical issues and sold at auction.

The city would use a lease purchase arrangement to obtain the necessary equipment to outfit the truck. That equipment would total another approximately $200,000.
