BELLEVILLE — Hometown Safety Grants from the Alliant Energy Foundation awarded $450 to Belleville area EMS for a vacuum splint system.

The safety grants fund specific tools and projects to help first responders do their jobs better: defibrillators in public buildings, personal protective equipment for police and more. 

Twelve communities across Wisconsin received grants. 

The grants are awarded for specific, one-time, safety-related projects that benefit a wide range of people and can be completed within one year. For more information or to apply, visit alliantenergy.com/foundation.

The Alliant Energy Foundation is funded solely by Alliant Energy shareowners.
