The Town of Winchester Fire Department was awarded a $114,489.49 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program. The two-year grant will fund the acquisition of personal protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus to enhance firefighter safety.
The goal of FEMA's AFG program is to provide financial assistance directly to fire departments and non-affiliated emergency medical service organizations to enhance firefighter safety. Funds from this award will allow the Winchester Fire Department to purchase gear that protects first responders from fire and related hazards, helping them operate more safely and effectively while serving the community.
