Franklin Fire And Rescue

Franklin Fire And Rescue is a local government municipal entity located in Franklin, North Carolina, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since November 21, 2014. As a U.S. local government fire department, the organization is dedicated to providing critical emergency response services to the Franklin community, with a primary focus on fire suppression, emergency medical services, and community safety. The department operates as a professional public safety organization committed to protecting lives, property, and responding to various emergency situations in their local jurisdiction.

Over the past several years, Franklin Fire And Rescue has consistently secured federal grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), specifically through two primary grant programs: the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant. Their most recent significant award in July 2024 was a $180,000 24-month project grant aimed at enhancing staffing, equipment purchases, and implementing health and wellness programs for first responders. Previous grants, such as the EMW2020FG11906 and EMW2019FF00844, have supported similar objectives of improving emergency response capabilities, potentially including funding for personnel hiring, equipment replacement, training, and operational enhancements. These federal grant awards demonstrate the department's ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving its emergency service infrastructure and capabilities through strategic federal funding opportunities.
