Norton council authorizes application for state fire-incident reporting grant
Summary
Council authorized the City of Norton to apply for a Fire Incident Reporting Grant administered by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs to buy two Rugged computers, a laptop and an ESO Fire Incidents subscription (request about $9,800); the deadline is Aug. 31, 2026.
Fire Chief Todd Lagow requested authority for the City of Norton to submit a Fire Incident Reporting Grant application through the Virginia Fire Services Board and Virginia Department of Fire Programs to help the department transition to the Virginia Fire Incident Reporting/National Emergency Reporting Information System (NERIS). Chief Lagow said the award is up to $10,000 per fire department identification number and that his request would be for about $9,800 to cover two Rugged computers, one laptop, and a one-year ESO Fire Incidents software subscription.
Chief Lagow noted the application must be executed by the city's competent authority and notarized and that submission does not obligate the city to accept the award. "The application deadline is August 31st, 2026," he said. Council authorized city administration, on behalf of the City of Norton Fire Department, to submit the grant application by motion of Councilman Fultz, seconded by Councilman Salyers; the motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
