This Fire Department is the gold standard of public service,” said Congressman Barr. “I will continue to champion essential federal funding programs such as the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, that support the work this Department and others throughout my District do on a daily basis to save lives and keep our communities safe.” “The Lexington Fire Department has a long, proud history of service to our city. We are grateful to Congressman Barr for recognizing our historic milestone and sharing this day with us. We are also grateful for Congressman Barr’s strong advocacy for our organization,” said Jason Wells, Chief of the Lexington Fire Department. “Whether it is advocating for our federal grant requests or supporting critical grant programs like the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, Congressman Barr has been a tremendous advocate for our Department. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
