The $1,013,046.84 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant awarded on March 22, 2025 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will enable the Monclova Township fire department to enhance its emergency response capabilities. The funding will support two primary activities: hiring new firefighters and recruiting/retaining volunteer firefighters. The overall goal of the SAFER Grant Program (CFDA 97.083) is to ensure communities have adequate fire and emergency protection by strengthening local fire departments' staffing and deployment. This grant is part of a consistent pattern of substantial SAFER funding, with recent awards ranging from $1 million to $16.8 million across various local jurisdictions.
