The Lynbrook Fire Department was recently notified that it will receive a federal grant from Homeland Security’s United States Fire Administration to purchase equipment.  The LFD, only one of two fire departments on Long Island to receive the grant, will receive $38,000 to purchase zone monitors, according to Lynbrook Fire Chief John O’Reilly.   The monitors will be used on the two ambulances operated by the Department’s Emergency Medical Company.
