Hamlin Morton Walker Fire District has been named a grant recipient by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation®, receiving $15,905 to ensure Hamlin is safer than ever.

We are honored to be able to award this grant and do our part to ensure that the Town of Hamlin is safer for everyone, including first responders,” said Robin Peters, Executive Director, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
