Westwood Volunteer Fire Co

Westwood Volunteer Fire Co is a U.S. local government entity based in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, registered in SAM.gov since September 2011. The organization provides emergency response and firefighting services to the Coatesville community through federal grant funding. As a volunteer fire company, Westwood Volunteer Fire Co serves as a critical infrastructure resource for the township, delivering fire suppression, rescue operations, and emergency response capabilities to ensure public safety for area residents.

Westwood Volunteer Fire Co has received four federal grant awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through two primary grant programs focused on enhancing emergency response capabilities. The organization has been awarded funding under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program on three separate occasions: $108,400.11 in August 2021, $188,100.88 in August 2022, and an additional AFG award in January 2021. Most recently, in December 2025, Westwood Volunteer Fire Co received a SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant, demonstrating FEMA's continued investment in the organization's operational capacity. These grants have been designated as Project Grants with completion timelines typically spanning 12-24 months. The funding provided through these awards has supported the acquisition of emergency equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, and personnel training resources that enhance firefighter safety and improve emergency response operations. The consistent pattern of grant awards indicates that Westwood Volunteer Fire Co utilizes federal funding to bolster its infrastructure and operational capabilities, directly supporting the AFG and SAFER programs' shared objectives of strengthening local fire department resources and reducing life-threatening risks to both firefighters and the communities they serve.
