Congressman Kennedy, along with District 51 B representative Ray Vandeveer, and Washington County Commissioner Dennis Hegberg, was at the City Council meeting to present the HFD and Hugo City Council with a check in the amount of $117,000, which will be used to purchase new air supply tanks to replace the very old and out-of-date equipment the department now used.
