Local fire departments are getting more money to enhance fire safety training.
The money comes from the provincial government and also supports safety inspection programs.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Greg Rickford says COVID-19 hurt in-person training opportunities and this money will improve online educational instruction for firefighters.
The money can also be used to upgrade high-speed internet in order to complete the training.
