Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced that the Crittenden Volunteer Fire Department Inc. has been awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant of $34,364.26 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
“Our local volunteer firefighters deserve the very best equipment and training so they can safely and efficiently serve our community,” said Congressman Langworthy. "I will always do what I can to ensure our federal tax dollars come home to support our first responders and keep our neighborhoods safe.”
Earlier this year, Congressman Langworthy hosted a virtual seminar with FEMA officials to help local fire departments understand and prepare for the application process for these grants.
According to FEMA, the primary goal of these grants is to enhance the safety and effectiveness of first responders while also improving their ability to respond to emergencies and disasters. They aim to address the evolving needs of first responders, from advanced equipment acquisition and updating aging vehicles to safety improvement and training programs.
