The Lake Ozark Fire Protection District is one several fire departments that recently received grants from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Fire Chief Mark Amsinger says the four thousand dollar grant will be used to make a specific purchase.
Lake Ozark was among 177 fire departments across the state that received grants totaling nearly $380 thousand dollars. Over the past 30 years more than $7.5 million dollars has been awarded to rural fire departments to increase safety and provide better equipment.
