GORHAM — The Gorham Fire Department will receive a $29,866 grant to buy lifesaving extrication equipment, often called the “Jaws of Life,” from the nonprofit Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. Fire Chief Phil Cloutier, who wrote the application, learned it is one of only 96 grants awarded in this latest nationwide funding round. The equipment is designed to safely and efficiently remove drivers and passengers trapped in motor vehicles at serious accident sites, fulfilling a critical need within the department. When town manager Denise Vallee announced the award at the Jan. 11 selectmen’s meeting, chairman Mike Waddell, and selectmen Judy LeBlanc and Adam White thanked the chief for his ongoing fundraising successes. In 2020, GPD was awarded both a $134,600 FEMA grant to buy multiple self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), also known as air packs, and a $10,000 grant for firefighters’ turnout gear from a community foundation supported by TC Energy,
