Green Creek Fire Dept. receives $155K FEMA grant On Feb. 17, the Green Creek Volunteer Fire Department (GCVFD) was notified that it has been awarded the 2011 Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) Grant of $155,197 from FEMA. This was in the 10th round of awards from FEMA. FEMA awarded $147,438.00 and the remaining $7,759.00 will be paid by the fire department. This grant is for operations and safety for personal protective equipment. GCVFD will use the funding to replace outdated turnout gear used for fighting structural and vehicle fires. The department also plans
to replace outdated wildland fire gear that is used for forest/ brush fires. “This grant will ensure that each member will have the tools they need to respond in the event of a fire,” GCVFD officials said. “Most of the gear GCVFD currently has is outdated and needs to be replaced. Also this will provide gear for new members who have recently joined. This will help keep the volunteers safe with minimum expense to the fire department.” – article submitted by the Green Creek Volunteer Fire Department
