BROOKE COUNTY, W.Va. (WTRF)
Two first responder departments received grants for essential gear from William’s Energy.
The Brooke County Sheriff’s Department received $5,000 for communication head sets for their SRT Unit and EMS received $11,400 for two McGrath video laryngoscopes and replacement blades, three updated S-SCOR III suction units, and six Harwell EVAC-U-SPLINTS vacuum splint kits.

“Communication On those major incidents emergency call outs, high risk search warrants, barricades, anything like that. Communication is often the first thing to fall apart. And with this, we’ve had a much easier time communicating from one team member to the next, which ultimately can play a whole role in how successful the outcome of that operation is.”
Sgt. Devin Baker – Brooke County Sheriff’s Department
