The Clinton Fire Department has received $26,000 in grant funding from the State of Illinois but it's not going to go as far as they had originally hoped.
At the Monday night Clinton City Council Meeting, Commissioner Dan Ballenger explained to the Council the bunker gear they had targeted had risen drastically in price, and will not be able to purchase as many units as they had originally hoped.
Commissioner Ballenger also addressed illegal burning in the city. He says manufactured lumber, brush, and trash burning in the community are not allowed.
