Over the past five years, Hatton Volunteer Fire Department has received three significant federal grant awards totaling approximately $365,999.40, all from FEMA's Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. The most recent grant, awarded on August 19, 2024, with a completion date of August 18, 2026, continues the department's pattern of securing funding to improve firefighting and emergency response capabilities. Previous grants, such as the September 13, 2022 award of $365,999.40, specifically funded firefighting equipment, protective gear, and resources designed to enhance firefighter and public safety. These grants enable the department to obtain critical emergency response equipment, protective gear, and potentially training resources that directly support their mission of protecting their local community. The AFG Program's primary objective is to provide fire departments and emergency responders nationwide with essential resources to improve overall safety and emergency preparedness.
