NORWOOD, N.Y. — Having purchased all the required equipment within the Norwood Fire Department's $146,097 Assistance to Firefighters Grants written by former Chief Tim Donohue, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has allowed excess funds of $3,000 to be used to further the abilities of the Norwood Fire Department.

This was used for a new Physio-control LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator.

This is a very capable instrument, which includes a large, intuitive screen that displays graphics and ECG readings that are clear and easy to read from a distance.
