The city of Brookfield Fire Department today received an $89,000 grant to purchase paramedic defibrillators.
The new defibrillators will allow the city to provide a higher quality of care, Fire Chief Charlie Myers said in a news release. More than 40 percent of the patients treated by the department require advanced cardiac monitoring, which the new defibrillators would provide.
The grant, which requires a city contribution of $9,900, will be used to purchase three defibrillators.
The grant is administered through the Department of Homeland Security.
