A $19,750 Georgia Municipal Association grant will help Hinesville firefighters and police officers add equipment for structure fires and roadside operations.
The Hinesville Fire Department was allocated $10,000 for a ventilation chainsaw to support firefighter safety at structure fires. The Police Department’s $9,750 share is for vehicle warning lights and mounting hardware to improve visibility during traffic stops and crash responses.
GMA risk control consultant Weston Cox presented the award in the Hinesville City Hall Council chambers on Monday, Nov. 9, with city staff and leadership present. The funding comes through GMA’s 2026 Partners in Safety Program, which offers eligible municipalities support for safety equipment, training and related services aimed at reducing workplace hazards and public liability risks.
