We are excited to announce that we have been awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant through FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency in the amount of $62,628.57! These funds will be used to purchase a roof ventilation training prop and cover costs associated with conducting training sessions. The new prop will allow firefighters to train on realistic and variable roof types with a variety of ventilation tools. It also includes safety features to prevent falls and other injuries during use. Grant funds will also be used to conduct training sessions for all firefighters on self-rescue, rapid intervention team deployment, and other firefighter safety topics.
