The Reno Volunteer Fire Department was awarded a $131,400.88 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFG Program, CFDA #97.044). The grant will support the department's efforts to enhance public and firefighter safety with respect to fire and fire-related hazards through September 2024.
As the goal of the AFG Program is to enhance safety for the public and firefighters, the funding will likely allow the Reno Volunteer Fire Department to provide critical safety equipment, training, or other resources to more effectively serve the Sugarcreek, PA area. The award demonstrates the federal government's commitment to assisting local fire departments nationwide in reducing fire risks and protecting lives through specialized support services.
