OWEGO, N.Y. (WHCU) — In the Village of Owego, officials are holding off on buying a new rescue tool.

Firefighters currently use a hydraulic Jaws of Life, but they hope to get a battery-operated one. It would reportedly cost about $40,000. The tool is used to rescue people from cars after a crash.

Officials are pursuing grant funding. They’ll discuss the purchase more in the coming weeks.
