The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded $624,091 to the Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District for the purpose of vehicle acquisition.
“Ohio firefighters and first-responders work every day to protect our families,” says Senator Sherrod Brown. “We must support our first-responder organizations so that communities like Greenfield have the resources to shield families and homes from fire hazards.”
The funds are awarded through the Assistance to Firefighters Grants program, which supports fire departments across the country to ensure the safety of both first-responders and the public.
The program provides funds for supplemental training, upgrades to protective equipment, facility modifications, and other supplies that protect firefighters and first-responders in moments of crisis.
