The Office of the Governor of the Northern Mariana Islands was awarded a $356,120 project grant from the Department of the Interior Insular Affairs to procure a light rescue utility truck. The funding is part of the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories program (CFDA 15.875) and will support emergency and rescue operations from June 2022 through September 2025, with a focus on matters involving jet fuel fires and passenger survival in the event of aircraft incidents. The light rescue utility truck will bolster the recipient's capacity to assist in airport disasters and emergencies by providing specialized equipment for extracting individuals from fuel-engulfed wreckage and surviving crashes until additional emergency responders arrive.
