Plymouth Fire Dept. awarded grant
PLYMOUTH – Senator Charles E. Schumer announced Thursday that the Plymouth Volunteer Fire Department will receive $63,294 as part of a federal grant. The money is part of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Plymouth department will use these funds to help improve operations and safety. This is part of a larger $291,311 grant given to the Southern Tier. Two other fire departments also received aid – the Otego Volunteer Fire Department in Otsego County and the Trumansburg Fire Company in Tompkins County.
“We can never truly repay our firefighters and first responders for their heroic efforts and dedication to duty. However, we can ensure that they have the training, equipment and resources they need to do their job well,” said Schumer.
The national program began in 2001 and has provided over $122 million in aid to New York fire departments alone. Congress has already approved nearly $1 billion to be used in 2007 which was nearly $700 million more than the administration’s budget proposal.
“These funds are truly a life-saving investment that will provide local fire departments with essential resources and support, so they can be better prepared for emergencies,” said Schumer.
