CEYLON -- Congratulations to the Ceylon Fire Department in conjunction with the Dunnell Fire Department that received a $10,000 grant and will purchase an air fill station. Compeer Financial Fund for Rural America granted the funds and has granted 177 grants through their emergency response equipment program. Some were collaboration grants like Ceylon and Dunnell's for shared equipment across multiple departments. Thank you to the hard working Ceylon Fire Department for your service to the area.
