Department applied for $214,000 Assistance to Firefighters Grant for medical supplies
Summary
The oversight board heard that the department applied for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) seeking $214,000 to purchase medical supplies; members encouraged applying because competitive grants require submission to be eligible.
A fire‑department official told the oversight board the department had applied for a federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) requesting $214,000 to acquire medical supplies. "I did apply for the AFG grant...Mine for $214,000 worth of medical supplies," the official said, and board members responded that applying is necessary to be considered for competitive funds.
Members noted that competitive grants are difficult to win but that applying is the only way to be eligible. The official said any award would reduce the town's immediate outlays for supplies if successful.
