Philadelphia, PA -- The Fiscal Year 2002 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is now funded at $360 million. The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) is sponsoring a series of special workshops across the country to explain the new application process to interested fire department representatives. The workshop in Delaware is scheduled at the Delaware State Fire School, 1461 Chestnut Grove Road in Dover on Wednesday Feb. 27, starting at 7 p.m.
The grant workshops are not prerequisite to receiving information on application procedures, and all fire departments are encouraged to check out the FEMA grant website: http://www.usfa.fema.gov/grants. This year's application process is primarily internet based, but paper applications will be accepted from fire departments without internet access. Fire companies can apply for grants to cover the cost of vehicles, firefighting equipment, personal protective equipment, training, fire prevention and firefighter fitness. In addition, emergency medical services within fire departments are eligible. For more information contact Jack Schuback 215-931-5624.
