Brookside Fire Department

Brookside Fire Department is a non-profit organization located in Bridgeport, Ohio, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since July 2018, with registration valid through March 2026. As a fire department serving its local community, the organization has consistently engaged with federal grant programs designed to support emergency services and firefighting capabilities. The department has demonstrated a focused approach to securing federal assistance through the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) program, which provides critical funding to enhance the operational readiness and safety of local fire departments.

Over the past several years, Brookside Fire Department has received multiple federal grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through its HQ Financial Assistance Awards division. These grants, specifically the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (EMW2023FG09511, EMW2021FG07009, and EMW2020FG02481), have been project-based grants awarded between 2020 and 2024, with completion periods ranging from one to two years. While the specific details of the goods or services purchased are not explicitly stated, these grants typically support fire departments in acquiring critical equipment, providing training, enhancing safety protocols, and improving overall emergency response capabilities. The department has consistently leveraged these federal grant opportunities to potentially upgrade firefighting equipment, conduct specialized training, or implement safety improvements that directly benefit their local community's emergency services infrastructure.
