The DNR says the grants can be used for training, hydrant installation or new equipment.
The grants are awarded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The DNR says the recipients, representing 36 Indiana counties, were chosen based on population density, acres of public wildlands protected and wildland fires reported to the DNR Fire Control Headquarters.
