County accepts $60,532.96 PPE grant to replace volunteer turnout gear
Summary
Middlesex County accepted a FY2026 Virginia Department of Fire Programs Personal Protective Equipment grant for $60,532.96 to buy 16 turnout gear sets, with a $16,000 local match budgeted in Emergency Services.
Emergency Services staff notified the board that the county was awarded a FY2026 Personal Protective Equipment grant through the Virginia Department of Fire Programs totaling $60,532.96. Mr. Layman said the grant "will fund the purchase of 16 full sets of turnout gear, with four sets allocated to each volunteer fire department to replace aging equipment." He told the board the grant requires a $16,000 local match, which the department has budgeted and does not require additional county appropriation.
Supervisor Wayne H. Jessie moved to accept the grant; the board approved the motion by roll call. The accepted award will be used to outfit volunteer departments as described and the department will execute procurement in accordance with grant terms.
