JACKSON — At their Dec. 14 meeting, in addition to discussing a potential new fire station and rescinding a previous vote to pre-purchase a fire engine, Jackson selectmen tackled one other fire department-related topic: a joint grant from FEMA for the Jackson and Bartlett fire departments to be able to purchase breathing apparatuses for the firefighters.

Jackson Emergency Management Director Emily Benson discussed the details of the grant — the Assistance to Firefighters Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
