Dingell Announces Grant for Allen Park Fire Department
Washington, DC,
April 20, 2016
U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) today announced that the City of Allen Park Fire Department will receive a $50,091 grant for safety and operations through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program. “This grant is critical for our firefighters and first responders who are the glue that keep our communities safe every day,” said Dingell. “This funding will help ensure that Allen Park has the resources to keep firefighters safe on the job so they can help those in need. It is also important to note that in the Downrivers all of the communities support each other in times of crisis, which is why they formed the Mutual Aid Consortium. This grant is good news for not only Allen Park, but surrounding communities as well.” The AFG program awards grants directly to fire departments and EMS organizations that are unaffiliated with a hospital to enhance their response capabilities and to more effectively protect the health and safety of the public and emergency response personnel with respect to fire and all other hazards. |
