Philadelphia, PA -- Region III is supporting the new $100 million program to aid fire departments throughout the region and the country. Since March 19, the region has participated in four workshop sessions sponsored by Congressmen. This has enabled the region to explain the program directly to over 300 fire department representatives.

Applications for the grant program must be in U.S. Fire Administration Offices by May 2 and the $100 million must be obligated to fire departments by September 30. Fire Departments interested in applying can call 1-866-274-0960 for further information. Information is also available on the Internet at www.usfa.fema.gov.
