December 6, 2002- The State of NH Attorney General's Office and the NH Anti-Terrorism Task Force recently awarded Rockingham Regional Ambulance, Inc. a grant to purchase personal protective equipment in the form of full face air purifying respirators and chemical splash suits. The funds for this grant were made available by the Federal government for New Hampshire's emergency services under the Domestic Preparedness Equipment program authorized by Congress and President Bush.

The equipment will be placed on all Rockingham ambulances and Rockingham medics will be trained in proper techniques for effective use of the equipment.
