The Northern Tier department was one of seven North Country fire departments in Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Clinton, and Washington counties to receive a combined $377,893 in federal funding.
The Rouses Point department will see $28,352 of those funds, U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik announced Sept. 1.
