Bovina Volunteer Fire Department received 10 kits as a part of a grant from the Mississippi Forestry Commission. Each kit includes a Nomex yellow coverall suit, a wildland Bullard helmet, a Nomex neck shroud, a headlamp, gloves, safety glasses and a yellow storage bag. Bovina was the only one of the five volunteer departments to receive the ready kits.
