The Columbia Fire Department (CFD) says the tool will help its team document scenes faster and link evidence to its exact location. The fire department describes it as a game-changer for fire safety and investigations, locally and statewide.

Columbia firefighters say MFA Oil’s grant will help the department better serve our community.
