(Washington, D.C.)U.S. Sen. David Vitter announced today that the Tangipahoa Fire Protection District #1 will receive a federal grant of $688,000 to meet the growing needs of the department.

“Hurricanes Katrina and Rita illustrated the importance of first responders to our communities,” said Vitter.  “They play a critical role in the protection of each and every community, and Amite will benefit greatly from this new fire station and fire truck.”
