State Fire Commissioner Bruce Trego announced July 8 that the Office of State Fire Commissioner (OSFC) opened registration on July 6 for state grants aimed at providing direct financial relief to fire, rescue and emergency medical service (EMS) companies negatively affected by the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
“Fire, rescue and EMS companies throughout the state have struggled since the state began taking action to curtail the spread of COVID-19,” said Trego. Of the $50 million in funding set aside for this new program, $44 million will be made available to fire and rescue companies and the remaining $6 million will go to EMS companies. Grant funding must be used for operational and equipment expenses.
Additional guidance, including detailed registration instructions are available online at OSFC’s website. The registration period for this grant program ends Aug. 7, 2020, at 4 p.m.
