Petersburg Volunteer Fire Department recently received a $10,000 grant from the Wesley and Irene Mansfield Charitable Foundation.

With the grant money, the firemen have purchased some needed furnishings for the new fire hall, including 17 rectangle and round folding tables, 125 vinyl chairs, four aluminum eight-foot portable benches, caddies for all the chairs and tables, and a dry erase and corkboard for the meeting room. These tables and benches were greatly needed by the department, and the equipment will be used during many activities including those sponsored by the Petersburg firemen and rescue squad personnel.
