“Rural fire departments throughout my district provide excellent service to their communities and I am happy to have assisted in their earning FEMA grants,” said Johnson.  “When fire departments in rural communities like Annapolis, Danforth, Rankin and Allendale contact me, looking for funding to improve the safety and infrastructure of their communities, I do not hesitate to seek out available funds and send them to the deserving fire departments, especially at a time of heightened awareness for American emergency professionals. 

The FEMA and USFA dollars coming to the listed fire departments are going to help implement the Fire Operations and Firefighter Safety Program at each department.  This program enhances interdepartmental training activities, wellness and fitness activities, firefighting equipment acquisition and personal protective equipment acquisition.  The federal dollars come from the ‘Assistance to Firefighters Program.’
