DAYTON -- Firefighters may soon be without the proper equipment or crews they need to fight fires.

Dem. Sherrod Brown is warning communities as it could ultimately affect your safety.

Brown has joined Dayton Firefighters on Monday to call on congress to extend funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Grants for crews and equipment upgrades are processed through the department. Republicans are threatening to DE-fund the Department of Homeland Security because of President's Obama's executive action on immigration.

"The immigration bill should be debated, we should do it. We passed it bipartisanly in the senate, but to use the homeland security budget to score political points is just wrong," said Sherrod Brown.

The issue must be resolved by March 1. or the Department of Homeland security will shut down.
