Lemon Grove…Today, Heartland Fire & Rescue announces that the Lemon Grove Fire Department has received a grant from the Gary Sinise Foundation, which provided the department with over $26,000 in much needed equipment. Included in the purchase was several sets of turnouts (turnouts are the protective clothing worn by firefighters), a portable turnout dryer, and specialized firefighting boots. We would like to thank them for their generous support.

The Gary Sinise Foundation serves our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. They do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, and build communities. To learn more please visit: garysinisefoundation.org
