Bloomfield Township Fire Department Receives Funding for Cardiac Monitoring Equipment

The Bloomfield Volunteer Fire Department will receive $40,000 in state funding to purchase a new cardiac monitor, according to an announcement from state Sen. Michele Brooks.

The funding is part of a $320,000 allocation for projects across Crawford County announced by Brooks on October 29.

The new cardiac monitoring equipment will allow the Bloomfield Volunteer Fire Department to expand its emergency medical response capabilities from basic life support to advanced life support.

Brooks said the funding will help provide local first responders with resources needed to protect their communities, particularly when responding to cardiac emergencies.
