Roae Reminds Fire, EMS Companies of Grant Deadline
Oct. 16, 2024
HARRISBURG - Rep. Brad Roae (R-Crawford/Erie) today reminded all fire companies, emergency medical service providers and volunteer rescue squads that they have until this Sunday, Oct. 20, at 4 p.m. to apply for the latest round of grants through the Office of the State Fire Commissioner.
"I urge local fire and EMS agencies to get their applications completed as soon as possible so they do not miss out on this grant program," Roae said. "If the Oct. 20, deadline is missed nothing can be done. Every applicant is approved if they submit a completed application by the deadline. It's the easiest money there is to get, but every year numerous fire departments and ambulance services across the state miss the deadline."
Projects for which grants may be used include facilities, equipment, debt reduction, training, education, recruitment and retention.
For more information, please visit pa.gov/en/agencies/osfc.html.
The 6th Legislative District includes the city of Meadville; Beaver, Conneaut, East Fairfield, East Fallowfield, East Mead, Fairfield, Greenwood, Hayfield, North Shenango, Pine, Randolph, Sadsbury, South Shenango, Spring, Summerhill, Summit, Union, Vernon, Wayne, West Fallowfield, West Mead and West Shenango townships; and Cochranton, Conneaut Lake, Conneautville, Linesville and Springboro boroughs in Crawford County and Conneaut, Elk Creek and Springfield townships and Albion and Cranesville boroughs in Erie County.
