Brooktrails Township Fire Department announces receipt of grant
The Brooktrails Township Fire Department is pleased to announce the receipt of a California Fire Foundation grant, awarded to upgrade communications equipment, including radios like those used to coordinate the highly successful emergency response on the recent Oak Fire.
The California Fire Foundation offers grant opportunities to fire departments, firefighter associations and community organizations serving the residents of California during tragic events such as wildfires, floods, and climate- caused disasters.
Brooktrails Fire Chief Jon Noyer says the funds will be used to upgrade mobile and portable radios in the apparatus used for wildland fires. “We need to be able to communicate with other allied agencies. With the constant changes in radio frequencies across the region and state, this award will allow us to do just that!”
The California Fire Foundation has teamed up with funding partners across the state to support wildfire prevention and relief through these grant programs. Grant funding priorities include:
• Community Outreach & Preparedness
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Specialized Firefighting Equipment
• Mitigation & Fuels Reduction
• First Responder Training
• Fire Prevention Education & Planning
Chief Noyer thanks the California Fire Foundation, its cooperators and donors. If you would like more information or want to donate to one of their important programs, please visit https:// www.cafirefoundation.org/.
