SMALL EQUIPMENT GRANT PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND AMBULANCE SERVICES

On Wednesday, the Office of the State Fire Marshal announced the application period for the Small Equipment Grant Program. This year, a total of $4 million will be disbursed to qualifying fire departments and ambulance services for essential emergency equipment. The significance of this program is heightened for rural fire departments and ambulance services that struggle to accumulate adequate funds through taxes to procure necessary and modern equipment.
