Today, U.S. Senators Tom Carper, a senior member of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee and co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus and Chris Coons, a member of the Appropriations Committee, (both D-Del.), announced a Federal Emergency Managements Administration (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) award totaling nearly $218,000 for the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company of Greenwood, Delaware.
“Volunteer fire companies are indispensable assets for small Delaware communities like Greenwood, keeping homes and businesses safe and helping residents in dire medical situations,” said Senator Carper. “This grant will help ensure the brave men and women who volunteer their time to protect all of us have the equipment, resources and skills necessary to continue serving this community safely. I want to thank FEMA for helping Greenwood enhance its public safety and response capabilities and my partner Senator Coons for helping to make this grant a reality.”
