I thank the East Chicago Fire Department and the public officials in East Chicago for their work in securing this grant and ensuring that our firefighters have the necessary equipment to safely respond to emergencies,” Congressman Visclosky said. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
