Winchester Fire-EMS recently got a financial boost for its fire investigation division. The department was awarded a $2,077 grant from FM Global, an insurance company with an office in Lexington. The company offers grants every year, but departments that receive a grant can not receive another for three years, Winchester Fire-EMS firefighter Jonathan Beam said.
The funds will be used to purchase equipment to use in investigation scenes including items for evidence storage, identifying evidence and a device to detect the presence of accelerants at the scene, Beam said.
