Subject: | Fire & EMS Grant Reauthorization |
In the near future, I will be introducing legislation to reauthorize the Fire & EMS Grant Program, which is due to expire on June 30, 2024. Currently, the program provides $30 million to fire companies and EMS agencies. Fire companies are eligible for up to $20,000 and EMS agencies can receive up to $15,000. My bill would reauthorize the program for 10 years - repeal outdated language (like the expired COVID Grants) - re-purpose the Firefighter 1 incentive (which is difficult to determine which fire company should receive credit for firefighters that serve in multiple companies) - and make other minor changes. Please join me in support of our Fire & EMS community by extending this popular and needed program. |
