BERLIN — The city has been awarded $167,952 in Federal Emergency Management Agency funding to replace aging breathing apparatus for the fire department.

The grant, which the city applied for in December, will replace 20 self-contained breathing apparatus along with 40 cylinders and 20 masks. The new breathing apparatus will replace equipment that ranges from 10 to 15 years old and does not meet current standards.
