AVON, NY — February 20th — The Lima Volunteer Fire Department was acknowledged by the East Avon Fire Department following the department's deployment of recently purchased equipment. In order to retain trustworthy equipment while controlling expenses, departments throughout Livingston County frequently purchase previously used equipment.

Updated equipment enhances response capability, equipment storage, and safety features for firefighters working on emergency scenes, according to fire department authorities. It is anticipated that the recently purchased device will assist regional mutual aid efforts and fire safety. The increase will improve emergency response coverage throughout the surrounding areas, according to neighboring departments.
