Irondale’s police and fire departments each received $2,000 grants from the Norfolk Southern Foundation, money that will help the police department train a new K-9 unit.

The departments applied for the grants a few months ago from the railroad company’s foundation. Each department received grants for $2,000, interim Police Chief Jason Wiggins said.

The money will help the police department get training tools and equipment for their new K-9 unit, Wiggins said.
