The Volunteer Fire Department Of Long Beach

The Volunteer Fire Department Of Long Beach is a local government-owned entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Long Beach, New York. As a volunteer fire department, it serves the local community by providing critical emergency response services and fire safety protection. The department has been actively engaged with federal grant programs, specifically through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has consistently supported its operational and safety enhancement efforts through targeted grant awards.

The department has received multiple federal grants focused on improving firefighter and public safety. The most recent grant, EMW2023FG00226, is an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) awarded in August 2024, set to conclude in August 2026. Previously, in August 2021, the department was awarded a $147,000.40 Project Grant under the same AFG Program to enhance public and firefighter safety in Long Beach. Another significant grant was the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant awarded in August 2020. These FEMA grants demonstrate the department's commitment to improving emergency response capabilities, acquiring necessary equipment, and supporting firefighter training and safety. The grants provide critical financial resources that enable the volunteer fire department to maintain high-quality emergency services, purchase essential equipment, and implement safety improvements that might otherwise be challenging to fund through local resources alone.
