‼️108 MISSOURI VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS RECEIVE OVER $1.4 MILLION IN STATE GRANTS FOR ESSENTIAL FIREFIGHTING AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT‼️

Our Missouri Department of Public Safety grants team has completed the process and 108 small volunteer fire departments have received $1.455 million in state grants to bolster their ability to provide critical protection to their rural communities. The Missouri Volunteer Fire Department Grant provided up to $15,000 for the purchase of equipment to agencies with annual operating budgets of $50,000 or less, where resources for essential firefighting equipment can be strained.

“Missouri’s firefighters stand guard, protecting our communities from fires, natural disasters and other emergencies each and every day,” Governor Mike Kehoe said. “We’re glad to see this funding put to work for precisely the reason we created the grant – to provide essential firefighting and safety equipment to the smallest volunteer departments, whose members define selfless community service each time they respond to a call.”

The most requested items were firefighter turnout gear, extrication equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and interoperable radios and repeaters for communication. There was also strong demand for basic supplies like hoses, nozzles, power tools and saws.
