New Bethlehem Fire Co

New Bethlehem Fire Co, operating as the New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department Division, is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal government awards since January 20, 2015. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, this volunteer fire department primarily provides essential emergency response services to rural residents. The organization has been actively engaged in improving community facilities and enhancing its capabilities to serve the local area, particularly in Pennsylvania, through federal grant funding.

The New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department has received multiple project grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service and Rural Utilities Service. These grants, awarded through the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA #10.766), have been used to construct, enlarge, extend, or otherwise improve community facilities that provide essential services to rural residents. Specifically, the department received a $105,800 grant on August 31, 2022, to support improvements to its community facility, thereby bolstering essential emergency response services for the rural area. Additional grants were awarded on August 31, 2023, and August 19, 2021, further supporting the department's efforts to enhance its facilities and services. These investments demonstrate the federal government's commitment to strengthening rural emergency response capabilities and improving the quality of life for residents in the New Bethlehem area.
