Rep. Hal Rogers encourages local fire departments to apply for Federal funding

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) is encouraging fire departments throughout southern and eastern Kentucky to apply for federal grants through the Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The deadline for submitting application materials is 5:00 pm (EST) on Friday, April 7, 2006.

"The federal fire grant program provides funding for training and equipment that is critical to protecting our firefighters and the people they serve," said Rogers. "I want to encourage all of our fire departments to take advantage of this opportunity."

The Assistance for Firefighters Grant Program serves rural, urban, and suburban fire departments throughout the United States. Funds are used by the nation's firefighters to increase the effectiveness of firefighting operations, improve firefighter health and safety programs, and establish or expand fire prevention and safety programs.

An application and information about the fire grant program may be obtained by visiting the ODP website at http://www.firegrantsupport.com. Information and assistance can also be obtained by calling 1-866-274-0960 or emailing firegrants@dhs.gov. Fire Departments are also welcome to contact Congressman Rogers' Washington, DC office at 202-225-4601.

Rogers works to provide funding for the Firefighters Grant Program in his role as chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
