Fire Rescue seeks approval to accept $59,017 GEMA/DHS grant for rescue equipment
Summary
Division Chief David Harmon asked commissioners to accept a $59,017 GEMA/DHS grant: $44,204.78 for new Hurst airbag lift systems and $14,812.22 for maintenance and repairs; the grant is reimbursable at 100% and will be added to the consent agenda.
Division Chief David Harmon, who said many know him as fire marshal, presented a grant acceptance request on behalf of Carroll County Fire Rescue and Fire Chief Dave Wade. Harmon requested board approval to accept and use a GEMA (Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security) grant totaling $59,017.
Harmon said, "Of the total awarded, dollars $44,204.78 will be used to purchase new Hurst Better high and low pressure airbag lift systems to replace the outdated equipment," and that the remaining $14,812.22 would fund maintenance and repair of the associated equipment and response vehicle. He told the board the grant is 100% reimbursable by GEMA upon project completion and that acceptance would help maintain emergency-response readiness.
Commissioners expressed that a fully reimbursable grant is favorable; the chair directed staff to place the grant acceptance on the consent agenda for the regular meeting so the county can complete the reimbursement paperwork if approved.
