Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson announced today an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program Award through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the Hutchins Fire Rescue for $99,403.
“The Hutchins Fire Rescue is known for working hard and being dependable,” Congresswoman Johnson said. "Our firefighters and first responders are on the front lines in the face of disaster, and it is up to the government to give them all the necessary tools to be able to do their jobs safely and efficiently. This grant will not only benefit the Hutchins Fire Rescue, but also the safety of the people of Hutchins."
The purpose of the AFG program is to award grants directly to fire departments and nonaffiliated emergency medical service (EMS) organizations. These awards aim to enhance our first responder’s ability to protect the health and safety of the public as well as that of first responder personnel, with respect to fire-related hazards.
