clothing that m eets current
standards as well as providing
a greater degree o f safety for
th e d i s t r i c t ’s v o lu n te e r
firefighters. The grant will also
provide funds to purchase a
thermal imaging camera. This
cam era allow s firefighters to
see heat through smoke so they
can quickly find the fire source
and more importantly victims
trapped by fire or overcom e
by smoke. Therm al Cam eras
built to work in the conditions
encountered by the fire service
are usually too expensive to be
p u rch ased by sm all tow ns
w ithout assistance o f grant
resources.
“Firefighters play a key
role in safeguarding America,
and these fire grant funds
provide first responders with
the resources necessary to
protect our communities from
all hazards,” said Michael D.
Brow n, U nder Secretary o f
H o m e la n d S e c u rity fo r
Emergency Preparedness and
Response. “ I join President
Bush and Secretary Ridge in
a p p la u d in g o u r n a ti o n ’s
firefighters and share their

fire re s p o n d e rs h a v e th e
proper equipment, resources,
training and support to fulfill
their responsibilities.”

Firefighters Grant Program is
administered by the U.S. Fire
A d m in istratio n (U SFA ), a

rural, urban and suburban fire

f ir e f ig h tin g o p e r a tio n s ,
firefighter health and safety
programs, new fire apparatus,
em ergency m edical service
programs, and fire prevention
and safety program s in local
departments.
“In this nation, far too
many individuals lose their lives
or are injured by fire. Am ong
these victims are firefighters,
