The Rosedale Volunteer Fire Co. will receive $50,232 in federal funding to purchase emergency medical equipment, federal officials announced Tuesday.

The grant, through Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters program, will allow the eastern Baltimore County company to purchase 15 sets of protective clothing that will safeguard its emergency services personnel from blood-borne pathogens.

Remaining funds will pay for the latest in defibrillator equipment and a Stair Chair, which assists in moving patients up and down steps.
