Union Emergency Medical Unit

Union Emergency Medical Unit is a non-profit organization based in Union, New Jersey that provides fire and emergency response services to the local community. The entity has been registered to receive federal grants and assistance since 2012.

Over the past few years, Union Emergency Medical Unit has received several grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program. These awards aim to enhance public and firefighter safety by providing resources to acquire critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other supplies. In 2022, Union EMU was awarded a $109,970.80 project grant to support its fire and emergency response services from September 2022 through September 2024. Previously, in 2021, the organization received a larger $271,999.70 project grant for a similar two-year period ending in August 2023. These sizable grants likely allowed Union EMU to procure new emergency vehicles, personal protective equipment, medical supplies, training programs, and related resources to bolster its capabilities in responding to fires and other hazardous situations within the local community. Union EMU also received a smaller $9,114 project grant from FEMA in 2020, suggesting an ongoing partnership with the agency to obtain funding that sustains the organization's emergency preparedness and public safety initiatives.
